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 fiIm s chilIing, radicaIIy expressionist vision is set to grip viewers again.
At a Iocal carnival in a smaII German town, hypnotist Dr. Caligari presents the somnambulist Cesare, who can purportedly predict the future of curious fairgoers. But at night, the doctor wakes Cesare from his sleep to enact his evil bidding...
IncaIcuIably influentiaI, the fiIm s nightmarishly jagged sets, sinister atmospheric and psychoIogicaI emphasis left an immediate impact in its wake (horror, film noir, and gothic cinema would alI be shaped directly by it). But this diabolical tale nevertheless stands aIone - now more mesmerising than ever in this new Dual-Format speciaI edition.
SPECIAL FEATURES: New high-definition presentation, from the extensive FWMS restoration Audio commentary by film historian David Kalat New video essay by film critic David Cairns PLUS: A 56-page bookIet with new writing, reprints and rare archival imagery |
