Fausto is a Canadian docufiction film, directed by Andrea Bussmann and released in 2018.

[1] Set in Oaxaca, Mexico, the film blurs the lines between reality and fantasy by exploring the community's mythologies and folklore.

[6] Peter Goldberg of Slant gave the film a three-star rating, writing that "Fausto abounds with piecemeal stories from locals and fantastic characters that evoke the writings of Borges and Bruno Schulz.

[2] For Now, Kevin Ritchie rated the film three N's, writing that "Bussmann’s camera frequently lingers on swaths of black night and shadow as if more interested in negative space than conventional action.

The storytellers aren’t always as captivating as the filmmaker’s eye, but this version of Faust is also at the nexus of a lot self-relfection and questioning happening more broadly in cinema right now.
