No longer able to bear to see himself age, doctor Faust decides to put an end to his life. But just as he’s about to swallow the poison that will kill him, the Devil enters the stage and makes him a deal. If Faust gives him his soul, he will be young again. The interested party ends up accepting and the puppets can begin their humorous reading of Faust’s myth.

Cousin Bette poster
9.5

A poor relative, cousin Bette is cast aside by a wealthy family. Embittered and jealous, she devotes herself to the systematic destruction of those around her. Max de Rieux's adaptation takes the decision to return to the initial meeting of the Hulot couple as if to show the degradation of the pure feelings and sublime aspirations of youth in bloody competition and irresistible perversion in materialist society.
