Faust

The film begins with the devil (Emil Jannings), boasting to the archangel St. Michael that he can cause anyone on earth to become completely corrupt. He decides that an alchemist named Faust should be his quarry. A bargain is struck: the agreement being that if this elderly man can be so thoroughly influenced that he will only commit evil - then Satan shall be given dominion over earth.

  • "Der Erzengel Michael wettet mit dem Teufel, ob es diesem gelingen könne, das Göttliche in Johann Faust zu zerstören; der Gelehrte forscht vergeblich nach einem Mittel gegen die Pest und macht sich aus Enttäuschung dem Teufel zu Diensten. Mephisto verjüngt den greisen Forscher und lockt ihn mit allen möglichen Ausschweifungen. Dann lernt Faust das unschuldige Gretchen kennen und verführt die junge Frau, die an den Pranger gestellt wird und später mit ihrem neugeborenen Kind durch den Winter irrt. Das Kind erfriert, Gretchen wird als Möderin zum Tod verurteilt. Voller Reue und Liebe steigt Faust zu ihr auf den Scheiterhaufen; im Tod finden beide ihre Erlösung. (Quelle: Umschlag)."

  • "Murnau's last film based on an older folk version of Faust. There is a well-developed command of the fantastic interweaving of horror, poetry and love."

  • "" ... an elderly scholar makes a pact to sell his soul to the devil in exchange for eternal youth ..." [box cover note]."@en
  • "God and Satan war over earth; to settle things, they wager on the soul of Faust, a learned and prayerful alchemist. During a plague, Faust despairs and burns his books after failing to stop death; Satan sends Mephisto to tempt Faust, first with insight into treating the plague and then with a day's return to youth. Mephisto is clear, timing the end of this 24 hours as Faust embraces the beautiful Duchess of Parma. Faust trades his soul for youth."
  • "Newly restored. Inspired by the German legend and by Goethe's classic tale, Murnau's Faust tells the story of an alchemist (played by Gösta Ekman) 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."@en
  • "Classic tale of a man who sells his soul to the devil, based on Goethe's Faust and folk sagas."
  • "Made at the height of Murnau's career, Faust is set at the end of the Middle Ages and made exclusively in a studio. The story is in two parts: the first is based on the folk legend, the second on Goethe's drama."
  • "Après un entretien entre Dieu le Père et Méphisto, le démon va tenter Faust et le plaçant sur son manteau après le pacte, lui fait traverser l'Europe pour arriver chez la duchesse de Parme. Au cours d'une fête, Faust s'éprend de Marguerite. Se sentant responsable de sa condamnation, il montera sur le bûcher. Adaptation d'après Marlowe, Goethe et d'anciennes légendes germaniques."
