Emil Jannings’ portrayal of Mephisto is legendary — a mix of the supremely sinister with the slightly comic, allowing him to seduce his audience with unnerving ease.
Indeed so eye-catching is Jannings’ performance that you might be forgiven for overlooking the contribution from his equally talented co-stars, Gösta Ekman and Camilla Horn.
Having said that, it is only when the film’s focus shifts from Faust and Mephisto to Gretchen that it attains its greatest impact.

Murnau's FAUST stars the inimitable Emil Jannings as Mephistopheles, to whom the hapless and aging Faust sells his soul for renewed youth as well as wealth and power.
Based on Goethe's interpretation of the age old legend, Murnau merely uses the story as a starting point for an incredibly phantasmagoric vision of the struggle between good and evil.
Beginning with a flourish, Murnau introduces Mephistopheles with one of the most famous sequences in film history, finding Jannings being birthed as a disgusting, primordial creature from the heavens and banished to the netherworld.

Dietrich is merely an instrument of his innermost desires, standing on stage in top hat, stockings, and bare thighs singing "Falling in Love Again." This is the original German version, newly remastered and subtitled.
