In The Last Faust, the titular character is Dr Heinrich Faust, a brilliant scientist and tech entrepreneur who is obsessed with transcending the boundaries of science and unlocking the secrets of life itself. Frustrated by his limitations as a mortal, he is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, even if it means making a deal with the devil.
In a Faustian bargain, Dr Faust sells his soul to the devil in exchange for limitless knowledge and power. With the help of his newfound abilities, he embarks on a quest to create the world's first superhuman, a being that transcends human limitations and possesses God-like abilities.
However, as Dr Faust pursues his dream, he begins to realise the price of his ambitions. His creation is far from perfect, and its existence threatens to disrupt the balance of the entire world. As he struggles to undo the consequences of his actions, he faces a final reckoning with the devil that will determine the fate of his soul and the future of humanity itself.
The Last Faust is a modern retelling of the classic tale of Faust, exploring timeless themes of temptation, power, and the limits of human ambition in the face of the unknown. Directed by Philipp Humm and starring Steven Berkoff as the devil, the movie is a thought-provoking exploration of the human psyche and the dangers of playing God.
