## Description

Product Description Murnau’s last German film features astonishing photography, magnificent art direction, and special effects which retain the power to amaze. Freed from the constraints of psychological narrative, Murnau s mastery of cinematic technique places Faust, eine deutsche Volkssage [Faust: A German Folktale] at the pinnacle of the silent era, its barrage of visceral and apocryphal imagery contrasting with the simplicity and directness of its spiritual theme. In collaboration with the screenwriter Hans Kyser, Murnau fused Faust's script from German folk legend and the works of Goethe, Gounod, and Marlowe (particularly using the latter s tone). Faust's tale is a classic one of a man who sells his soul to the devil. In an attempt to gain control of the Earth, Mephisto (Emil Jannings) wagers an angel (Werner Fuetterer) that he can corrupt the soul of the elderly professor Faust (Gosta Ekman). As the Horsemen of the Apocalypse ride demonically through the sky, Mephisto towers over Faust s hometown unleashing a plague that spreads amongst its inhabitants. Faust, unable to find a cure for the citizens who are dropping dead around him, renounces both God and science invoking the aid of Satan through a mysterious book that he chances across. Murnau, a perfectionist, shot multiple takes of each scene with only prime takes making the final German domestic cut of Faust. Only the prints made for export outside Germany were seen until recent times; indeed this version was at one time thought to be the only version (it used discarded takes, errors, less impressive special effects, and human stand-ins for real animals). Using the nitrate duplicate negatives printed by UFA in 1926 (and an array of international sources) Murnau s favoured domestic German version of Faust has now been meticulously reconstructed by Luciano Berriatua for Filmoteca Espanola from which this newly restored transfer is sourced. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to be able to present the original German domestic cut of Faust for the first time on Blu-ray in the UK. SPECIAL FEATURES:Gorgeous 1080p transfer of the domestic German print, with original German intertitles and optional English subtitlesA choice of three scores; an orchestral score by Timothy Brock, a specially commissioned harp score by Stan Ambrose, a new piano score by Javier Pérez de AzpeitiaFull-length audio commentary by critics David Ehrenstein and Bill Krohn The Language of Shadows, a 53 minute documentary on FaustThe complete export version of the film plus a video comparison between the domestic and export versions of the filmA 20-minute video piece with critic Tony Rayns discussing the film Review A superbly stylish version of the legend about a man who sells his soul to the devil.

Review: Great story telling and visually stunning - I have to say that the more I delve deeper into these silent movies, the more I am impressed by the art direction, attention to detail and the over all quality of these movies. I bought Faust on the strength of Nosferatu and I have to say that I was most certainly not disappointed. The first thing I will say about this film is how nicely simple the story is. The plot is pretty basic with some nice religious themes, love, betrayal and some more dark elements thrown into one big mixed bag. But the director has done a great job of taking these qualities and making it so easy to follow that the pacing was absolutely perfect. My favourite thing about this movie is the visual element. There are a lot of heavy religious themes, most of which are fairly stereo typical old time Christianity. On top of that you have a fantastic intro sequence featuring the Devil and an Angel, this sequence alone is absolutely beautiful and had me taken back. The rest of the film features some beautiful set work all of which had a magnificent use of lighting. It didn't matter whether the set was made to look heavenly, devilish or to emphasise the look of death and decay, it looked absolutely gorgeous without, and all this is without mentioned some of the incredible visual effects sequences. Those are a sight to behold. Extremely impressive for the technical limitations of the day. Those looking for a stunning fantasy movie about selling your soul to the devil, falling in love and reaping the consequences will absolutely adore this film. The bluray transfer whilst scratchy in places (it is 90 years old after all) still looks very sharp and is well suited to modern high definition television sets. I had an absolute blast with this movie and I couldn't recommend it more.
Review: Magnificent Film - This is a wonderful domestic European cut of Faust presented as Murnau wished it to be seen. The Kino export version is also included and the extra material makes some scene-by-scene comparisons and contrasts between the two versions. The great clarity of detail and sharper focus in the individual scenes {both in camera work and direction} in the domestic version become quite obvious. The domestic version also contains a vital scene at the end missing in the export copy which emphasises the themes of sacrifice and redemption. Since both versions are there, complete, you can choose which one you wish to see. There are two complete sound backings; the full orchestral score of the Kino restoration and also a new and beautiful harp accompaniment. No one who loves this film should be without this issue.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Master Class on lighting techniques
*by P***O on 11 December 2010*

Well, the Faust legend never looked so good. Above all, this film is a master class about lighting techniques. I have never seen in my whole life a film where the lighting and illumination techniques are taken to the limits as they are taken in Faust. It is like the last lesson Murnau taught us before moving to the USA. Only for this Faust must be considered a masterpiece. And well, about the Faust Legend, what to say?. Remember Marlowe and Goethe. The fight between good and evil, the eternal youth, how to get everything you want and the price to pay...... Eternal questions. The performance of the actors is top notch. The cynicism of Mephistopheles is immense, from clown to monster; without losing his smile. Highly recommended.
