F. W. Murnau's FAUST!

On this episode, we cover F.W. Murnau's Faust: A German Folktale. In this classic of silent cinema, our Mephisto (Emil Jannings) makes a bet with an archangel that Faust's soul can be corrupted. Faust (Gösta Ekman) is desperately trying to save his village from a plague. He is able to help the villagers, thanks to Mephisto, but further dealings with the devil lead Faust on a decadent downward spiral. Can he redeem his soul before it's too late?Featuring:"Fauft?!"The Three Horsemen of the Apocalypse (because times were tough in Germany)You win this round, God!Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, Paradise What Did I Come Into This Room For?Mephistos Just Wanna Have FunCancel your subscription, Lester!Otho from Beetlejuice?!
