Faust

Directed by FW Murnau

To celebrate the 250th anniversary of Goethe’s birth, a rare screening of this classic of German cinema, with live accompaniment by internationally acclaimed silent film pianist Neil Brand.The director of NOSTERATU brings an equally powerful visual sensibility to the tale of a man who sells his soul to the Devil (Jannings) in return for his youth. Superbly stylish and immensely effective.
