The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Body
Featuring live piano accompaniment by Jeff Rapsis!
In 1920, one brilliant movie jolted the postwar masses and catapulted the movement known as German Expressionism into film history.
That movie was The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, a plunge into the mind of insanity that severs all ties with the rational world. Director Robert Wiene and a visionary team of designers crafted a nightmare realm in which light, shadow and substance are abstracted, a world in which a demented doctor and a carnival sleepwalker perpetrate a series of ghastly murders in a small community.
