Dread by the Decade: Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari

👻 My Kofi ❤️

English Title: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari Year: 1920 Genre: Psychological Horror Rating: Unrated (Suggested: PG-13) Country of Origin: Germany Language: Silent Runtime: 1 hour 14 minutes

Director: Robert Wiene Writers: Carl Mayer, Hans Janowitz Cinematographer: Willy Hameister Composer: Giuseppe Becce Cast: Werner Krauss, Conrad Veidt, Friedrich Fehér, Lil Dagover

Plot: When a carnival comes to town, its somnambulist begins predicting people's deaths.

Review: Tense, layered, and stylistically gorgeous, this movie's status as a cornerstone of horror cinema is more than deserved.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5

Story: 3/5 - While interesting and unpredictable, it grows somewhat muddled towards the end and falls into ableist tropes.

Performances: 4.5/5 - Krauss plays Dr. Caligari in the most delightfully maniacal way, and Veidt is unsettling as the clairvoyant Cesar.

Cinematography: 5/5 - Eerily beautiful, with unique framing and lighting. There isn't a single shot in this film that isn't striking.

Music: 4/5 - Wonderfully weird.

Sets: 5/5 - From the cityscapes to the carnival, all of the sets are distorted and angular, giving every shot an unsettling, dream-like quality.

Costumes, Hair, & Make-Up: 4/5 - Very solid. Dr. Caligari's outfit and make-up are iconic.

Trigger Warnings:

Mild violence

Ableism against mentally ill people (uncritical)

Conrad Veidt and Werner Krauss in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Robert Wiene, 1920)

Cast: Werner Krauss, Conrad Veidt, Friedrich Feher, Lil Dagover, Hans Heinrich von Twardowski, Rudolf Lettinger. Screenplay: Carl Mayer, Hans Janowitz. Cinematography: Willy Hameister. Production design: Walter Reimann, Walter Röhrig, Herrmann Warm.

I don't know how many years ago I first saw The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari on television or in some university film series, but I remember finding it rather silly and quaint. In the meantime I have grown more serious-minded about movies and the film has been carefully restored: The flickering black-and-white images I must have seen have been replaced by smooth digitalized projection and the appropriate color filters, as well as the original hand-painted intertitles, and an appropriately spiky modern score by John Zorn has been added to some prints. It's clearly a classic, both of its time and enduring into future times. The film has been endlessly analyzed, most notoriously by Siegfried Kracauer in his 1947 book From Caligari to Hitler: A Psychological History of the German Film, in which Kracauer posits that the film reveals post-World War I Germany's subconscious desire for an authoritarian leader. In other words, Caligari equals Hitler. Considering that in the film Caligari, played by Werner Krauss, looks both sinister and absurd, something like an elderly owl in a top hat, I find the argument hard to swallow. But this is one film that will probably never exhaust interpretation. I think it's best just to enjoy it as a tremendous artistic experience.

The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, 1920

Lil Dagover cowers on possibly the most recognisable set in film history – the nightmare landscape of Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr Caligari. Hermann Warm's boldly expressionist designs for the film, with their tipsy angles and long shadows, encapsulate its twisting plot and air of paranoia. Cinematographer Willy Hameister's camera tilts downwards, an unsettling angle that further exaggerates the effect
