The cabinet of Dr. Caligari Robert Wiene's horror masterpiece
In the film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, a somnambulist commits murders under a hynotist's influence. Also featured on this cassette is a lengthy excerpt of Genuine, a vampire tale. Both films are examples of the German Expressionist movement, and were restored in 1996 by Film Preservation Associates.
The most brilliant example of that dark and twisted film movement known as German expressionism, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a plunge into the mind of insanity that severs all ties with the rational world. Director Robert Wiene and a 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 perpetuate a series of murders in a small community.

When a side-show mountebank with a sonnambulist who predicts the future comes into town, murders begin to occur. The murders are a madman's recreation of a medieval legend about a monk named Caligari who used a sonnambulist to commit murders. The whole is then shown to be a madman's delusion.

Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (Motion picture)
A somnambulist commits murders at a hypnotist's bidding in this German expressionist horror classic.
About 1830, Dr. Caligari exhibits a somnambulist, Cesare, in a fairground. Cesare tells a student that he will die "before dawn." The student is murdered and his friend suspects Caligari. Caligari orders Cesare to kill a young woman but he attempts to kidnap her instead, is hunted, and dies from exhaustion. Caligari escapes into a lunatic asylum, of which it is learned he is the director, but is finally unmasked as insane. At the end the whole fable is explained as the invention of an inmate of an asylum who imagines the director of the hospital is "Caligari." Both Dr. Caligari and Genuine are examples of the German Expressionist movement.

Genuine
A young man named Francis suspects that Dr. Caligari, the travelling hypnotist who performs with his sleep-walking assistant Cesare, is a murderer. He believes that Cesare also kills while under the doctor's spell. Francis' sweetheart Jane is attacked and carried off by Cesare, but she manages to escape. During the search for her, Francis goes to an insane asylum hoping to find Cesare and discovers that the director of the asylum is none other than the insane Dr. Caligari. It is then revealed that Francis himself is a patient in a mental institution.
This experimental film was the first to realize the tenets of German Expressionism as it had developed in literature, theater, and the arts. It is the story of Dr. Caligari, head of an insane asylum, who directs his somnambulist victim out on abduction and murder rampages at night, and himself ends up in a straightjacket. The special qualities of the film are primarily linked to the production design, with painted backdrops that create distortions to suggest the mystery and horror that dominated Expressionist cinema. Silent with English intertitles. B&W.
Reality and illusion seem to lose their delineations when Dr. Caligari, the travelling hypnotist, comes to town.

In the film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, a somnambulist commits murders under a hynotist's influence. Also featured on this cassette is a lengthy excerpt of Genuine, a vampire tale. Both films are examples of the German Expressionist movement.
With psychosis, paranoia and the blurring of the distinction between madness and sanity at its centre, Caligari can be seen thematically as a distant forerunner to the psycho-horror subgenre. Stylistically the expressionist design of the painted sets had little direct influence. This stylisation in Caligari carries a clearer implication of social and political comment than is the norm for the horror genre.

Warner Krauss stars as a deranged hypnotist who spreads death through the countryside from a ramshackle traveling carnival. Before the naive eyes of the townspeople, he unveils the contents of his coffin-like cabinet: Cesare (Conrad Veidt), a spidery sleepwalker who obeys his every command. But at night, once the crowds have dispersed, Caligari lifts the lid on darker intentions, unleashing the dreadful Cesare to act upon his master's murderous whims and carnal desires. Also featured on this cassette is a lengthy excerpt of "Genuine", which reunited Caligari's creative team to continue their radical experiments with expressionistic sets and imagery.

"A tale of the modern re-appearance of an 11th century myth involving the strange and mysterious influence of a mountebank monk over a somnabulist"--Program notes.
One of the most important films in cinema history, and one that exercised a considerable and lasting influence. Produced during a period when expressionism and cubism were doctrines of the advanced schools of the art, it was a revelation. Its amazing use of deliberaterly-distorted backdrops, and high contrasts in lighting are all designed to accent the terror of its story. In it, the audience shares the experiences of a madman and is carried into a world of unreality and escape.

Caligari is a hypnotist whose somnambulist, Cesare, kills the hero's friend and carries off his girl. Having exposed Califari, the hero is himself revealed as an inmate of a lunatic asylum where Caligari is director.
Starring the remarkable silent film actor Conrad Veidt, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, is a tale of the reappearance of an 11th century myth involving the strange and mysterious influence of a Mountebank monk over a somnambulist. A deranged Dr. Caligari and his faithful sleepwalking Cesare are connected to a series of murders in a German mountain village, Holstenwall. The narrator, Francis, and his friend Alan visit a carnival in the village where they see Dr. Caligari and the somnambulist Cesare, whom the doctor is displaying as an attraction. Caligari brags that Cesare can answer any question he is asked. When Alan asks Cesare how long he has to live, Cesare tells Alan that he will die before dawn, a prophecy which is fulfilled. The film's reputation is based on its position in the development of expressionism in the German cinema. The style of design, in particular sets painted flat with distortions of perspective, emphasized by grotesque lighting, became known as "Caligarism" and had a great influence on German films of the next decade. Writers Hans Janowitz and Carl Mayer met each other in Berlin soon after World War I. The two men considered the new film medium a new type of visual storytelling that necessitated collaboration between writers and painters, cameramen, actors and directors. They felt that film was the ideal medium through which to call attention to the emerging pacifism in postwar Germany.
