Faust in the Underworld

The German legend of a scholar's unholy pact with the Devil would have been very familiar to most moviegoers (at least European ones), so Georges Méliès' early cinematic treatment likely got away with simply offering a fancifully illustrated late episode without the earlier narrative context (however, spoken narration provides some of the latter in this restored print). Tempted by Mephistopheles with all kinds of dancing and ethereal babes, Faust is at first excited and then terrified by the sight of various demons and monsters. The painted-set designers really went hog wild on this one, depicting the (sometimes sexy) torments of subterranean Hell with in bold terms (even when ballerinas prance in the foreground). (Dennis Harvey, Fandor)

The Maiden Tower

Two young people who love each other but cannot be reunited - Tuncay and Aytekin - have an endless love for each other. The reason for their separation is that Aytekin is the daughter of a king, and Tuncay is a simple engraver. Another issue is that Tuncay takes a shaman as his apprentice. As a result of a miracle, Tuncay arrives a thousand years later - in modern Baku and manages to find both the girl he loves and her father. But what has changed in Baku during these thousand years? Will our hero be able to reunite with the woman he loves in conditions that are completely alien to him, in the vortex of time?

Falsch

Just before twilight, a small plane lands on the runway of a country airport. One passenger disembarks: Joe, the last survivor of a Jewish family, the Falsches. He has an appointment with them all tonight, forty years after leaving Berlin for New York in 1938. The Falsches are all waiting for him in the arrival lounge: those who perished in the concentration camps; those who left with Joe in 1938; and those who returned to Berlin after the war. Lilli, a young German woman, is there too; she is the daughter of a Nazi official, who was the love of Joe's youth, and who died during the bombing of Berlin. For Joe, it is a night of encounters, of celebrations beyond life and death.
