Faust and Mephistopheles

Alice Guy has managed to tell, in a thoroughly confusing manner, the entire story of Faust in about two minutes!!! I laugh at this because the original story consisted of 25,000 lines of non-rhyming German verse. How anyone expected to adequately address this complex story so quickly is beyond me. To try, Guy often stops the camera to make things seem to magically appear. However, unless you are very familiar with the original story, the whole thing is a confusing nightmare. (imdb)
