Kino Lorber is proud to announce the Blu-ray release of F.W. Murnau's silent film masterpiece Faust, starring Emil Jannings (The Last Laugh, The Blue Angel) in one of his finest performances. Considered one of the crowning achievements of German silent film, Murnau's adaptation of the Goethe play about a young alchemist's pact with a devil is an epic, visually sumptuous production that harnessed the full resources of Germany's Ufa Studios to create an unforgettable cinematic experience. This Kino Classics Blu-ray edition contains the meticulous restoration of the original German release version of the film, as well as a DVD of the lengthier alternate cut prepared by Ufa Studios in 1930.  

Digitally restored in HD from 35mm archival elements from the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Stiftung, Faust comes to Blu-ray on November 17 in a 2-disc set, with a SRP of $29.95. This edition includes a choice of two musical scores: a piano score by Javier Pérez de Azpeitia, adapted from the 1926 orchestral arrangement by Paul Hensel, and an orchestral score by The Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra, compiled from historic photoplay music. The set comes packed with bonus features, including The Language of Shadows: Faust, a 53-minute documentary by film restoration expert Luciano Berriatúa, about the making and restoration of the film, test footage of Ernst Lubtisch's abandoned production of Marguerite and Faust, preserved by the Library of Congress, and a bonus DVD featuring the alternate 1930 cut of the film, featuring an original score by Timothy Brock, performed by the Olympia Chamber Orchestra.
