Gösta Ekman stars as the titular alchemist who, struggling with his faith amidst a devastating plague, is offered the power to cure and the gift of youth... in exchange for his soul. As the diabolical Mephisto, Emil Jannings delivers a performance of operatic scale and intensity, by turns charming, comical, and horrific. (official distributor synopsis)
