Holy shit, look at these film stills from the 1926 version of Faust by F. W. Murnau (who is best known for Nosferatu.) I know this is a cliche, but in this case it's true: I've never seen images like this before. I'd love to see the movie.

PS: I've been "reading" this LJ for a while now, and it can be pretty great. Recommended.
