The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)
Directed by Robert Wiene
Francis, a young man, recalls in his memory the horrible experiences he and his fiancée Jane recently went through. Francis and his friend Alan visit The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, an exhibit where the mysterious doctor shows the somnambulist Cesare, and awakens him for some moments from his death-like sleep.

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 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about movies and the film has been carefully restored: The flickering black-and-white images I must have seen have been replaced by smooth projection and the appropriate color filters, along with the original hand-painted intertitles, and an appropriately spiky modern score by John Zorn has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 it 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'm not much convinced by that argument. 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.
