- Alexander Sokurov and his interpreter
Our jury unanimously chose to give this year's SIGNIS prize to the film Faust directed by Alexander Sokurov for its groundbreaking artistic interpretation of Goethe's original work.
This film is a strong reminder of the universal human struggle with greed, lust, and power.
Faust's journey brings to the screen a depiction of what kind of world it would be if we were to lose our soul. It is a vivid reminder of the consequences of sin and that there is more to life than the here and now.
