SYNOPSIS: One of the most iconic masterpieces in cinema history, Robert Wiene's Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari shook filmgoers worIdwide and changed the direction of the art form. Now presented in a definitive restoration, the film s chilling, radicaIly expressionist vision is set to grip viewers again.
At a local 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 sIeep to enact his evil bidding...
IncaIcuIabIy infIuentiaI, the fiIm s nightmarishly jagged sets, sinister atmospheric and psychoIogical emphasis left an immediate impact in its wake (horror, film noir, and gothic cinema would alI be shaped directly by it). But this diabolical taIe nevertheless stands alone - 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 archivaI imagery |
