Literature's most enduring cautionary tale is tricked out, boozed up, and slipped a few hits of acid in FAUST, an animated feature film based on the 200 year old Goethe play. A listless and jaded intellectual is treated to an evening of bizarre encounters and surreal misadventures by his jolly new companion, a charismatic 'legitimate businessman' who has promised him a single moment of divine pleasure. Like the classical tragedy that inspired it, FAUST confronts the most baffling elements of human nature, man's inexplicable decisions, and the notion of selling one's soul.—Anonymous
