Murnau (NOSFERATU, SUNRISE) orchestrated a colossal adaptation of Goethe's FAUST that ranks alongside Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS as the greatest achievement of the German silent cinema. Gösta Ekman stars as the titular alchemist who, struggling with his faith amidst a devastating plague, is offered the power to cure and the gift of youth... in exchange for his soul. As the diabolical Mephisto, Emil Jannings (THE LAST LAUGH) delivers a performance of operatic scale and intensity, by turns charming, comical, and horrific. This special Kino edition contains the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Foundation's meticulous restoration of the original German version of the film with unique hand-painted intertitles.
