F.W. Murnau’s silent film is a masterpiece to behold; few films by any director can match it for the
sweeping impact and beauty of its visuals or the power of its storytelling. Emil Jannings glowers his way through the role of Mephistopholes, who offers the aging Faust (Gosta Eckman) an opportunity to relive his youth, the price being Faust’s soul. CINESERIES ScreenMagic concerts combine silent film masterpieces with live piano scores composed and performed live by Canadian composer Robert Bruce. Presented at Cambridge Galleries, Queen’s Square, 1 North Square.
