F.W. Murnau’s telling of the classic German legend, ‘Faust’ is a masterpiece to behold. From both the technical and story standpoint, the film excels and despite being nearly eighty years old, Faust still stands tall as one of the greatest cinematic achievements of all time. The story follows a German alchemist by the name of Faust. As God and Satan war over Earth, the Devil preaches that he will be able to tempt Faust into darkness and so has a wager with God to settle things. Satan sends Mephisto to Earth to offer Faust an end to the plague that is making its way through the local population, and eternal youth, in return for Faust’s soul…
This silent film will be accompanied with live improvisations by organist Morgan Cooke. This is a wonderful opportunity to see a rare silent film in a unique setting .
