Faust (1926)

Movie Rating

You can't really judge a film this old (93 years and counting) by modern standards, as it is the product of an entirely different sensibility and is in a mode we rarely see nowadays - it's not naturalistic and doesn't want to be, instead presenting an almost impressionistic series of images as it tells its story.

You might expect it to be slow and heavy, but for the first hour and a bit this rattles along at a tremendous pace - the Devil makes a bet with an Archangel for the soul of the alchemist Faust, granting him eternal youth, wealth, worldly pleasures, and so on. It's still visually impressive and often unexpectedly funny (Emil Jannings as the Devil gives a great comic performance)- a bit earnest and melodramatic in places, but you kind of expect that. Very watchable - I hope I look this good when I'm 93.

Addictive

Started Detroit become human after finishing studying for the year... played it through over the space of 2 weeks a couple of hours every other night so it's not the longest game, BUT it is addictive, thought provoking and you find yourself really rooting for your characters even though at times they are pitted against each other. The map that shows percentages is interesting too as you see what other players chose. Your characters are not safe from a sticky end btw so choose wisely! My ending was played by 3% of other players and I would play again to get a different ending. Would recommend!
The digital deluxe version also comes with a copy of heavy rain which is also worth a play but worth playing that before Detroit as the graphics do not compare.
