Faust - 1926 - Murnau- VF
Tourmenteur de l'humanité avec la guerre, la peste ou la famine, Méphisto considère que la terre lui appartient. L'Archange Gabriel lui évoque le nom de Faust, un vieux savant, un juste dont la vie entière est la preuve que la terre n'est pas totalement soumise au Mal. Méphisto promet de détourner de Dieu l'âme de Faust. Alors la terre sera tienne, promet l'Archange... Dans son village décimé par la peste, Faust, désespéré, trouve un grimoire lui permettant d'invoquer le Diable, et signe avec lui un pacte de 24 heures pour sauver les malades. Mais les villageois s'en aperçoivent et veulent le lapider. En proie au suicide, Faust accepte une nouvelle proposition de Méphisto : retrouver sa jeunesse en échange de son âme...

WATCH IN 1 GO / Faust (Murnau, 1926) DOMESTIC version + FITTING Brock-score
Now, my special edit, finally IN ONE GO! Watch the spectacular result of an experiment I did to find a way to combine the 'domestic cut' of Murnau's Faust with Timothy Brock's brilliant score, written for another version of this film, the so-called 'export version'. Let me explain a little bit further what I've done and how and why I did this.
F.W. Murnau's masterpiece-film 'Faust' was released in 1926 and there are seven known versions of the film. The most well known version is the so-called 'export version' with english titles, that premiered in december 1926 in the USA. That export-version is 10 minutes longer than the newly discovered 'domestic version' a couple of years ago, the domestic version being the original 'German print', the one with German titles that was shown at the time in German cinema theatres. The export print is slightly darker and softer, lacking the detail and clarity of the domestic version. Incidentally, the differences between the export and the domestic version are considerable. There's no difference in terms of the overall structure of scenes and storyline, but the pacing and lengths of scenes often vary greatly and there are often striking differences in the order and in the composition of shots, the domestic version certainly being the superior of the two. Timothy Brock's orchestral score, written for the Faust-export version is a masterpiece, a fantastic accomplishment, perfectly keeping with the operatic and epic nature of the film. The way Brock uses operatic- and leitmotif-storytelling and storydeveloping techniques in his music for the export version of the film is absolutely stunning. But, as soon as Brock's score is played with the domestic version, picture and sound are almost evrywhere out of sync, that is, numerous details and leitmotifs of the score then miss the point, lose their 'iconic' meaning and strength and simply can't work as they do so perfectly in the export version. Isn't it possible then to combine Brock's music with the greatly cut and very clear print of the domestic version? The answer is 'no' when you play the music along with the domestic film in its original speed. The answer is 'yes' (that is, in my opinion) if you manage to adjust the speed of numerous sequences of the domestic film. Only when countless sequences are 'manipulated' in terms of duration the music is able to work once more on the pictures (and vice versa) as it does in the export version. Now, I took it as a challenge to try to make Brock's music work as well in the domestic cut version of Faust and with this aim in mind I've edited the complete domestic Faust. I think the result of my editing is quite interesting and after the changes I made in the duration of countless sequences - a time consuming job that requires precision and a lot of patience - I personally think this brilliant music now also works very well for the complete domestic version. For me the result has been quite spectacular. I've tried to keep the duration manipulation of sequences within reasonable measures, in order to maintain as much as possible the natural look, tempo and feel of the domestic Faust version. I use all of Brock's score and all of Murnau's film, there's no material left out by me. Enough said, hope you'll find this 'experiment' as fascinating as I do and I hope you'll enjoy this video.

Faust | Masters Of Cinema #24 | 1926 | Trailer | F.W. Murnau
God and Satan war over earth; to settle things, they wager on the soul of Faust, a learned and prayerful alchemist. During a plague, Faust despairs and burns his books after failing to stop death; Satan sends Mephisto to tempt Faust, first with insight into treating the plague and then with a day's return to youth. Mephisto is clever, timing the end of this 24 hours as Faust embraces the beautiful Duchess of Parma. Faust trades his soul for youth. Some time later, he's bored, and demands on Easter Sunday that Mephisto take him home. Faust promptly sees and falls in love with the beautiful Gretchen, whose liaison with him brings her dishonor. Is there redemption? Who wins the wager?

Faust - Eine deutsche Volkssage (1926) - 1 of 11
Note: Don't forget to turn on captions in your viewer if you want to see english subtitles.
F.W. Murnau's last German production before leaving for Hollywood is a visually dazzling take on the Faust myth. Pushing the resources of the grand old German studio UFA to the limits, Murnau creates an epic vision of good versus evil as devil Emil Jannings tempts an idealistic aging scholar with youth, power, and romance. The handsome but wan Swedish actor Gosta Ekman plays the made-over Faust as a perfectly shallow scoundrel drunk with youth, and the lovely Camilla Horn (in a part written for Lillian Gish) is the young virgin courted, then cast aside, by Faust. The sheer scale of Murnau's epic and the magnificent play of light, shadow, and mist on his exquisitely designed sets makes this one of the most cinematically ambitious, visually breathtaking, and beautiful classics of the silent era.
