80TH ANNIVERSARY SPECIAL EDITION TWO-DISC SET
Murnau's last German film Faust 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 at the pinnacle of the silent era, its barrage of visceral and apocryphal imagery contrasting with its simple spiritual theme.
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 wagers an angel that he can corrupt the soul of the elderly professor Faust. Mephisto unleashes a plague that spreads amongst its inhabitants. Faust, unable to find a cure, renounces both God and science invoking the aid of Satan through a mysterious book.
Murnau, a perfectionist, shot multiple takes of each scene with only prime takes making the final German domestic cut of Faust. 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. the Masters of Cinema Series is extremely proud to be able to present the original German domestic cut of Faust or the first time on home video in the UK.
