No idea how I stumbled across this. I'm not a fan of old literature. Or even reading for the lost part. But I understand this all. And it's deep. And the line at 2:27. Nailed it. Two minutes in to something old and I barely know and I cheered for man facing the devil within.
I love this scene so much, especially Mephisto’s cynicism and Faust’s frustration The dialogue is extremely clever and the interactions between these two feels so genuine; there’s a sense of dry wit on top of the philosophical discussions that gives a hint of realism to them both And on a more informal note, I could listen to Mephisto’s voice for hours There’s something both eerie and strangely relaxing about it I’d let him sway me and control me any day 💕
My grandmother would have loved this. In the 70's, she was looking for a cure for cancer and bought a bunch of Wiccan items, one of them was a ring with a pentagram in the center. I wanted it, but when she passed away no one told me where it was.

please can you tell me where I can find the english audio track? I have the the subtitles but have yet to find anywhere I can get this marvel in english
Yeah I've tried them all, they must have took it down in favor of the Czech version. Do you think you could upload it somewhere for download or send it to me if you still have the English dub?
Are you talking about finding a copy of the actual movie? Or the scene on CZcams? I don't think they have the Czech version of this scene uploaded on CZcams.

If this was real life, he probably took psycedlic mushrooms and looked at himself in the mirror and seen himself as the devil. Psycedilics does bring creativity and knowledge and realizations.

the pentagram in this movie reminds me of the twister bordgame
Mutual disdain between them, is what I see.
Faust knows all outcome

It's the inverted-pentagram that attracts evil.

This actor died 3 days before the film was released.
Of what?
@@danielgutierrez702 Cancer - I believe it was pancreatic and lung cancer - he suffered terribly. He was already feeling ill during filming.
The actor for Faust or Mephisto?
Petr Cepeck ( sorry If I spelt it wrong)
With his master smh.
8 love this dialogue.. meph answers faustus q's.. but Faust is a SmartDumb cat
Thanks for the information claymation man!
This is one of the few czech films where, somehow, the english dub is better than the original.
Always scare me,even after these centuries...
Agalloch sent me here
Oldly Faust is very human....
Demons use language in strange ways.
Poslední role velkýho herce...
Nechť je mu zem lehká. Byl to skvělý herec a věřím, že i úžasný člověk.
please can you tell me where I can find the english audio track? I have the the subtitles but have yet to find anywhere I can get this marvel in english
I downloaded it from a torrent site, can't remember which one it was though, it was ages ago. Maybe try to check it there?
The dvd released By kino has the english audio track. It's out of print though.
Yeah I've tried them all, they must have took it down in favor of the Czech version.
Do you think you could upload it somewhere for download or send it to me if you still have the English dub?
PM your email, i'll send it through Wetransfer
@@HrodnandB I'm not sure if you're active on this channel anymore, but I'd love to have the English dub if you still have it!
Which version is this from? I’ve tried finding it for years in both Goethe and Marlowe but can’t find anything
It's Švankmajer's original rendition but it's much more similar to Marlowe than to Goethe.
@@matejmoravek4580 Wow! Its such a good exchange, the back and forth between Faust and Mephisto! Kudos to master Švankmajer!
So this dialouge doesn't come from a pre-existing version of Faust?
Thank you.
I'm still looking for the original Czech version with English subtitles if anyone can help
Are you talking about finding a copy of the actual movie? Or the scene on CZcams? I don't think they have the Czech version of this scene uploaded on CZcams.

Is that Ollie Reed? Playing the devilish hallucination?
No
Sad to watch when l know that the actor was terminally ill and had died not long time after this film was completed.
Agalloch!!!
Faust in France ?
Can I have a link to watch the full version please.....
Jan Svankmajer's Faust
it is on youtube
It's Mephistopheles
Weaving Spiders Come Not Here !
I got mephisto as a pet in diablo 3 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey guys where can i found the text of this dialog ??? Because i need for a project 🙏🏻
The book
HINWEGGEFEGT: Your (Albiontic) infinitely insane (and silly) "concept" of *missophy* and Mephisto as its "bringer" / "Inventor" …
Name of movie
Its called Faust and was made in 1994 by Jan Svankmajer. Its a rare film, but totally worth watching if you can get access to a copy.
Faust / book 1808
By Goethe
better than shakespeare
Shakespeare is overrated but i suppose for the time he was slightly above average.
What is name of movie
Jan Švankmajer's Faust (1994)
Thank you
01:00 he a little bit looks like Jeremy Clarkson talks to Mr Bean xD

It is real life (czcams.com/video/6qzphzaOAJ0/video.html) there are more of these confessions out there.
Psychedelic mushrooms solve everything it seems, I'm sure Goethe was absolutely tweaking on them when he wrote this
@@joshlbiomechanic the person in that video is an idiot but, yes psychedelics can do things
@@TheFaustianAlchemist ha i agree with your measure of intelligence but you refrain from the data presented. true psychedelics do things, have any other wisdom to pander?
