The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
“The most complete essay in the décor of delirium is one of the most famous films of all time, and it was considered a radical advance in film technique, yet it is rarely imitated—and you’ll know why.” – The New Yorker
Considered to be the world’s first true horror film, THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI was released in 1920 and introduced audiences to a new genre of psychological horror.
At a carnival in Germany, Francis (Friedrich Feher) and his friend Alan (Rudolf Lettinger) encounter the crazed Dr. Caligari (Werner Krauss). The men see Caligari showing off his sleepwalker, Cesare (Conrad Veidt), a hypnotized man who the doctor claims can see into the future. Shockingly, Cesare predicts Alan’s death, and by morning, his chilling prophecy has come true — making Cesare a prime suspect. Is Cesare guilty, or is the doctor controlling him?
On Sunday, September 29, at 2:30 pm, we will host a screening of this film in our cinema with a score composed and performed live by Roger C. Miller and Terry Donahue of The Anvil Orchestra.
Roger and Terry have been live-scoring silent films individually and collectively for over 30 years. If you’ve ever experienced a live-scored movie in an arthouse theater, you know how special it will be.
