The Cabinet of Dr. Ca. .

The Cabinet of Dr.The film is presented in six acts and is about murders apparently committed by a man calling himself Dr. Caligari who has a man in a box and claims that the man is 23-years-old, has been asleep for 23 years, and is able to be awoken and foretell the future. Caligari appears before an audience in a side show at a fair. A murder is committed on the first night of his appearance and on the second night. The film has a surprise ending prompting us to rethink what we sa.

But as viewing experiences, the movies don’t really hold up. The only silent movie that I saw outside of a film school and enjoyed very much was Nosferatu, which I’d actually like to check out again. It’s scary and simple, with a chilling performance by Max Schreck. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is short and sensational, beautiful and tragic. It also has a story that doesn’t feel dated in the least. A man named Francis tells an elderly man a terrifying story about what happened to his friend Alan and fiancee Jane. Francis and Alan go to a fair where they meet the weird old man Dr. Caligari, who. Caligari (German: Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari) is a 1920 German silent horror film, directed by Robert Wiene and written by Hans Janowitz and Carl Mayer.

Considered the quintessential work of German Expressionist cinema, it tells the story of an insane hypnotist (Werner Krauss) who uses a somnambulist (Conrad Veidt) to commit murders.

Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' may not be the kind of film that would shock today's audience, but its fascinating and horrific use of surrealistic atmosphere clearly had an influence on modern filmmakers such as David Cronenberg and David Lynch. While the story is not as involving as other German masterworks of the era, such as "Metropolis," it can be appreciated for its unique vision.

The film makers paid more attention to the use of the 1920 versions back drops and practically ignored the dialogue and character development. Krall and Jones were outstanding as Caligari and Ceasar but ultimately I feel there talents were wasted. A sad and needless attempt at a re-make.

Rollers from Abdun

Great book with meanings behind the film and a bit of history at the time. There are several really, really good photos from the film as well. I was totally happy with it.

'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' is a legendary film that has become buried in its own legend(s). There has been the ugly conflict between its various contibuotrs as to who actually 'authored' the film (with maligned director Robert Wiene, who died before the spats began, losing out). There has been the contentious issue of the framing story, where the screenwriters' conceived attack on authority is neutered as the ravings as a madman. There has been the notoriously influential thesis of art historian Siegfried Kracauer in his book 'From Caligari to Hitler', which claimed that films reflected the subconscious of a nation, and that, by virtue of the framing story, 'Caligari' somehow visualised the German desire for Nazism. Then there is 'Caligari''s position in the history of film, as the first example of Expressionist cinema, the most widely influential 'school' in the medium.
Legend and myth are anathema to the British critical mind, which prefers to deal with verifiable facts. By going back to primary sources - the original script, production memos, trade reports, advertising materials, contemporary reviews, as well as first-hand testimonies (which latter he treats with scepticism), David Robinson builds up a more prosaic, but convincing, picture of the conception and creaton of 'Caligari' (an appendix compares the original script with the finished film, allowing us to dismiss the main myth-disseminator, co-screenwriter Hans Janowitz), showing how subsequent legends were created for various self-interested reasons (e.g. as a calling-card for exiled screenwriters in World War II Hollywood).
'Caligari' is revealed as less the inspired breakthrough in Cinematic Art than a happy accident - the famously Expressionist sets were less a necessary visualisation of character subjectivity than a cynical attempt to cash in on the vogue for modern art and Grand Guignol. Wiene, derided in film history as a 'one-trick pony', is rehabilitated, as it the framing narrative once condemned as conformist. The study offers a fascinating history of film-making in the context of post-World War I Europe, the expectations of the public and the reactions of the press. He gives a precis of the wider Expressionist project, showing how 'Caligari' borrowed heavily from the art and theatre of its time (not just visually, but in acting technique), concluding that this style was 'bolted on' to a story that didn't really need it, rather than arising aesthetically out of it. 'Caligari' is no longer considered a great film, but it is important because people thought it was, encouraging film-makers and audiences to take more risks, paving the way for the genuine achievements of Expressionism (co-screenwriter Carl Meyer would write most of Murnau's great films).
This is all very interesting and a pleasure to read, but something is missing - the film itself. There is little analysis of 'Caligari' as a movie, why it can still exert a fascination for a sympathetic audience, what the various stylistsic choices actually mean or achieve. It's not enough to dismiss 'Caligari' as a ragbag of various accidents (so are most Hollywood 'classics') - it is still a film to be watched and understood, even if eventually dismissed.
Nevertheless, this book is a visual joy, full of crisp stills, sketches for sets, and, most pleasurably, various posters for the original exhibition run (including the lurid but mysterious one on the cover) which, I must confess, are more strikingly beautiful than anything in the actual film.

Two men are sitting on a cement bench by the garden wall. One casually says there are evil spirits all around. As a woman in white glides by the second man Francis (Friedrich Fehér) says that is my fiancée Jane (Lil Dagover) and let me tell you what happened to us.

Then the screen play of "the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" which as you may have suspected is not s verbal script as much as directions.

The whole book is peppered with stills from the movie.

Qusserel

Robinson makes snarky remarks about “film studies” and “bogus academic theories” but he offers no interesting ideas of his own: much of the book gets bogged down in a discussion about who should get credit for creating the film.

Bynelad

The BFI Film Classics series is a consistantly stimulating guide to great films, and this is one of my favorites. Robinson is particularly strong in placing this film in its historical context. As wonderful as it is, Caligari is nevertheless a product of its time, and an awareness of this only increases its resonance. This book beautifully passes the only true test of film criticsm - it enhances our experince of the film itself.

Swordsong

This is not the screenplay but a reconstruction made from a print of the classic 1919 expressionist film. The introductory material is more valuable than the text itself, as it includes little known historical detail. There are about 100 pages of text in the edition I bought in London, and 24 pages of b&w photographs.

Armin

Dr. Caligari's cabinet is a wonderfully done piece of literature. The story is very original and suspenseful. Definately the book to read if you don't want to sleep at night
