Synopsis
he 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.

This Kino on Video edition is taken from a 35mm print restored by the Bundesarchiv-Filmarchiv of Germany, featuring the original color tinting and toning. The title translation is by Kinograph MontrÃ©al.

With Conrad Veidt (Contraband, Waxworks), Werner Krauss (Waxworks), Lil Dagover, Freidrich Feher

A 43-minute condensation of Robert Wiene's Genuine: The Tale of a Vampire (1920)

A Quick Tip by Count_Orlok_22

Kino's restoration of this film is superb, though I think we can expect a superior edition in the future. The print could have been cleaner and the intertitles didn't seem to be translated as accurately as they could have been, but it is wonderful to see the correct color tinting and have a choice between two different scores.
