The enduring masterpiece that inspired so many filmmakers and critics throughout the late ‘50s. Bergman's Faust, this searing morality tale functions on many levels - as a recreation of medieval life, as a desperate debate on religious belief, and as a vision of romantic love. Bergman provides no answers; it's the questions that enthral. Max von Sydow and Bibi Andersson relished their first starring roles, and Gunnar Fischer's cinematography was never better.

*This screening will be introduced by Cinema City Director David Litchfield.*
