在这部浮士德剧情片中,太初有道,然後有光,故事就在光的掩映下展開。女孩逃生因而誕生隱秘之地的傳說,一段幽靈和寶藏的縷述,到頭來仍是關於浮士德嗎?不要緊,在墨西哥瓦哈卡海岸,一切敘事都有可能。浪濤、月夜、酒吧、人叢……通向前殖民世界,自然和人文的混濁漩渦中,文學與神話在現實和虛構間糅合無間,愛智的靈魂待價而沽,梅菲斯特在選擇人,人可也在選擇他?一個看似沒完沒了的符號建構計劃,不留神稍一認真,精神豐收竟在眼前。
On the Oaxacan coast of Mexico, rumblings of previous times are never far from the surface. Tales of shapeshifting, telepathy and dealings with the Devil are embedded in the colonization and enslavement of the Americas. Characters from the Faust legend mingle with the inhabitants, while attempting to colonize and control nature through a seemingly never-ending building project. Through literature, myth and local entanglements, the frontier between reality and fiction, and the seen and unseen, no longer apply.
运动与静止间的抉择。
