Have you ever watched a film and sat down afterwards realising you don't know whether you liked it or not? This film haunts me. On the one hand it's unsatisfying because it ends with so many questions left unanswered. On the other hand it's the mysteries in the film that make it appealing.
It's obviously based on the old German legend of Dr. Faust, but it lacks the strict moral causality. The Doctor Fausto in this film is given the chance to have a taste of evil, seemingly as a reward for his good deeds in the past, but he can leave the path of evil at any time without consequences.
