FAUST turns 100 this year, and we’re less than two weeks out from The Invincible Czars’ screening of the movie at The Rialto (10/3), including a brand new original score…

F.W. Murnau brought FAUST to the screen at the height of his creative powers, following the international success of Nosferatu. Given extraordinary resources by UFA Studios, he transformed a familiar folktale into a vast, dreamlike spectacle filled with monumental sets, startling visual effects, theatrical shadows, and images that still feel uncanny a century later…

Murnau uses the camera and the frame almost like a magician uses a stage—making demons loom, cities transform, and moral conflict feel physically enormous. His FAUST is both intimate and epic: a human soul caught in a cosmic struggle…

Every version of FAUST returns to the same irresistible question: What would you risk to get what you want? The quintessential “deal with the devil” story speaks to ambition, temptation, regret, and the fear that our time is running out.

Faust’s bargain may be supernatural, but the impulse behind it is deeply human—the temptation to set aside our principles in exchange for power, knowledge, youth, love, or one more chance. Each retelling finds a new angle on that struggle, which is why FAUST never stops feeling urgent.
