I saw this film screened about a year ago, and I was fairly impressed. This was done after "Nosferatu," and it had a huge budget. From what I could tell, its "environment" was completely constructed--it was all huge sets and backdrops, with nothing of the "real world" visible at any time. Very lavish production. I recommend it!

Huge budget meaning what? $1000? :D Must have been easy back in the day to make a good movie......Now everyone has their "standards"......

Well, actually I don't know how much it cost, but it must have been big (million-dollar movies were being made in the late 20's--although back then spending a million dollars on a movie was like making "Terminator II"). But "Faust" was expensive in the sense that they had to hire droves of workers to physically build all of what's seen. If someone is lying on a hillside looking up at the sky, they built the exact hill they wanted. It was pretty cool to see on the big screen, actually!

I also wanted to mention that the lighting was as subtle as anything done nowadays.

Supposedly this is available on DVD...

Faust
Faust is one of my all time favourite films and it is also to me, the most visually pleasing film I have ever saw, it was kind of the film that I wish Nosferatu had been, I wish Murnau had more money when he was making Nosferatu.
The bit where Mephisto appears is especially pleasing, if anyone likes atmosphere in their horror, Faust is something you have to own. It is a great shame he only got to direct 3 horror films before he died shortly after Faust.
