Synopsis:
Faust is a luxurious German production that ensured Murnau a contract with the Hollywood studio Fox. Mefisto, brilliantly portrayed by Emil Jannings, offers to the old Faust an opportunity to be young again, for the price of his soul. This is a highly stylized film, which was disturbingly realistic at the time of its creation.
