F. W. Murnau's Faust was seen as 'kitsch' by several contemporary critics. This clip includes the brilliant soundtrack rescored by Timothy Brock. “A balance between 'classicism and kitsch' not a 'Gesamtkunstverk' (true art) - Fritz Göttler “Those German critics who were not on UFA's payroll expressed contempt for the film's sentimentalism, dismissing it as a 'kitsch travesty' of the classic text of German literature.“ - Liz Jones, journalist
