THE LAST FAUST is the world's first and only definitive filmed version of Johan Wofgang von Goethe’s epic verse drama Faust 1 and 2. Goethe’s Faust is widely unknown as it takes more than 13h to be played.
.
THE LAST FAUST portrays a modern Dr. Faust, CEO of a Silicon Valley company Winestone Ine, selling his soul to the Devil Mephisto, depicted as a Hedge Fund Manager, to emulate God’s creation and create the first Superhuman. Humm extends Faust to the 21st century by also introducing Dr. Faust’s successor D.r Goodfellow, whose desire for technological progress finally drives humanity to its extinction.
D.r Goodfellow is played by Steven Berkoff and Dr. Faust by Martin Hancock.
THE LAST FAUST is an experimental directorial debut combining cinema, theatre, art and dance to a new theatrical cinema.
The film is part of a Total Works of ART on Faust created by the artist/film director Humm, which includes fine art photos, an illustrated novella and a large collection of paintings/sculptures.
