René Clair brings his magic to the story of Henry Faust, a 50‑year professor at a circa‑1700 French university, who despairs of aging. Mephistopheles, in the form of a handsome young man, swaps bodies with Faust to tempt him into a pact for youth, wealth and power. The revived Faust enjoys material gains but hesitates, while Mephistopheles, now in the professor’s body, schemes to trick him, opposed by a gypsy girl praying for his soul.
