Faust (1926)

£0.00


Country: GER
Technical: bw 100m
Director: F. W. Murnau
Cast: Emil Jannings, Gosta Ekman

Synopsis:

Faust barters his soul to Mephistopheles in return for worldly success.

Review:

Doubtless the freest visual treatment of a familiar tale; some of the images are nothing short of superb, such as Jannings enshrouding the town with his cape-like wings. The dependence on studio sets, models and optical tricks adds to the power of these effects: primitive they may be, but elemental.
