Faust

Running 2h 8m and made in Germany, Faust (1960) is a Drama and Fantasy film in the 123movies catalog. The cast includes Will Quadflieg and Gustaf Gründgens; Peter Gorski directs. 17 votes put it at 7.4/10. In 1957 Gustaf Gründgens staged a new production of Goethe's Faust in which he once again played Mephisto, a part he had played since 1932. The brilliant production was a huge success and ran for a couple of years. In 1959 Peter Gorski captured the performance on film in his directorial film debut. Basically it is a registration of the production, but Gorksi did manage to accentuate the details of the acting by using enough medium and close-up shots which give a view on the acting you normally would not able to see in a theater.
