Shinji Aoyama
A 2006 review in "The New York Times" called it "one of the most astonishing visual experiences the silent cinema has to offer." Japanese film director Shinji Aoyama listed "Faust" as one of ten greatest films of all time in 2012. He said, "I always want to remember that movies are made out of the joy of the replica. The fascination of movies is not their realism, but how to enjoy the "real". In that sense, I always have "Faust" in my mind as I face a movie, make a movie, and talk about a movie."
