Director Robert Wiene's stunning experiment in cinematic surrealism and psychological horror set the tone for German Expressionism and an incalculable number of genre films to follow. Werner Krauss stars as hypnotist/showman Dr. Caligari, who travels through a weirdly distorted countryside and unleashes Cesare (Conrad Veidt), his somnambulist slave, on the townspeople. With Lil Dagover, Friedrich Feher, Rudolf Lettinger. 77 min. Standard; Soundtrack: music score; German intertitles; audio commentary; interviews; video essay; documentary; theatrical trailer; 100-page book. Silent with music score. Region Free
