Film Club: Faust (1926)

In 2026, The Invincible Czars celebrate 100 years of the silent masterpiece Faust (1926, FW Murnau) by performing their tastefully modern soundtrack live with the movie at theatres in the US and Canada. Their brand new electrifying score marries new and old elements of classical music, bossa nova and even a touch of heavy metal to bring the movie to life for contemporary audiences and incorporates a mix of instruments like flute, violin and electric guitar. The Invincible Czars’s score for Faust is mostly original material inspired by film score composers like Bernard Herrman and John Williams peppered with and cinematic metal a la Fantomas and even a little Marcos Valle-esque bossa nova. The band keeps their tradition of incorporating music from Russian classical composers, revisiting their renditions of Mussorgsy’s Pictures at an Exhibition and A Night on Bald Mountain in particular for this soundtrack. Five players perform the score live on violin, electric guitar, clarinet, bass clarinet, flute, glockenspiel, keyboard and drums. About Film Club : For twenty years we've existed in service of film.
