Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (1920)

Rate: 8
Viewed: 6/04, 2/06

2/06: Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari, which is translated as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, is the quintessential example of German Expressionism.

It's the jagged shapes in the background that gives the picture a distorted, surreal look. The plot can be confusing, too. Hence, there should be more text cards for clarification.

All in all, Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari is one of the best from the silent film era.
