Fausto (2018, Andrea Bussmann)

[Mothravka]

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.

Saw this one recently after stumbling upon it by accident. Really nice mythical film with a lovely aesthetic to it, and I like the way it mingles together the topics of history, mythology, colonialism etc.
