Horrific and Erotic - what more could you want? [read more]
Fausto 5.0 on DVD
Winner of a host of international film awards including a Goya Award for Best Lead Actor (Eduard Fernández), and Best Film at the 2002 Fantasporto Festival, Fausto 5.0 is a contemporary reworking of the Faust myth as a psychosexual surrealist horror film. Directed by Álex Ollé, Isidro Ortiz and Carlos Padrisa (better known as members of La Fura Dels Baus, the controversial experiemental theatre group responsible for the notorious sexually explicit stage play "XXX"), the film stars Miguel Ángel Solá (Tango), Eduard Fernández (The Goalkeeper) and Najwa Nimri (Sex And Lucia).
Visually stunning and superbly performed, Fausto 5.0 is an imaginative thriller that hypnotises the viewer with its disconcerting mix of the erotic and the horrific, each laced with a light touch of mordant humour. Fausto 5.0 (cert. 18) will be released on DVD (£14.99) by Nucleus Films on 22nd May 2006.
