Faust is a hauntingly beautiful piece of early silent cinema as only F.W. Murnau could create. Mephisto is a demon who bets an Archangel that if he can corrupt the soul of a righteous man then the Devil will have dominion over Earth. Target: the old alchemist Faust. So, Mephisto sends a deadly plague into Faust’s town who, when he is unable to stop the spread of death, burns many books, including a bible. Needless to say, trickery is involved, souls are sold, and hearts are stolen at an Easter church service but the question is…who actually wins the wager?
