If Faust hit the spot, these will too

The same two preoccupations: death, and silent film

F. W. Murnau directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Missing the stillness of Faust

The same mix in both: dream logic, then stillness

The same preoccupation in both: silent film
The difference: Not nearly as dreamlike as Faust

Both land dread and unease at once

Fantasy with a pulse of dream logic, in both cases
The difference: 39 years apart, and the 1960s show

Contemplative drama, and it commits to that
The difference: Leans harder into romance than Faust does

Both lean on dread more than on horror

Both are built on the same subject: death

Unsettling fantasy in both cases

Horror built on dream logic, twice over

Drama with a pulse of dread, in both cases
In the mood for more dreamlike?
