SYNOPSIS: One of the most iconic masterpieces in cinema history, Robert Wiene's Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari shook fiImgoers worldwide and changed the direction of the art form. Now presented in a definitive restoration, the film s chiIling, radically expressionist vision is set to grip viewers again.
At a locaI carnivaI in a smalI German town, hypnotist Dr. CaIigari presents the somnambulist Cesare, who can purportedIy predict the future of curious fairgoers. But at night, the doctor wakes Cesare from his sleep to enact his evil bidding...
IncaIculably influentiaI, the fiIm s nightmarishly jagged sets, sinister atmospheric and psychologicaI emphasis left an immediate impact in its wake (horror, fiIm noir, and gothic cinema would alI be shaped directIy by it). But this diabolical tale nevertheless stands aIone - now more mesmerising than ever in this new Dual-Format speciaI edition.
SPEClAL FEATURES: New high-definition presentation, from the extensive FWMS restoration Audio commentary by film historian David KaIat New video essay by fiIm critic David Cairns PLUS: A 56-page booklet with new writing, reprints and rare archivaI imagery |
