F.W. Murnau is not only one of my favourite silent film directors, but one of my favourite directors, Full-Stop!
Faust seems to be one of his more unknown films (as opposed to Nosferatu and Sunrise). What amazes me about this film is how good the special effects are for it's time! It is also a great telling of the old folk tale.
I have Masters of Cinema edition and it is well worth the money.
