 The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
dir. Robert Weine, Germany, 1919, 35mm, 72 mins, b/w with color tints, silent with live musical accompaniment by Guglielmo Foffani
An extraordinary combination of expressionist visual style and
a psychological horror story, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
is one of the most striking and influential of all silent films.
Dr. Caligari is a deranged hypnotist who spreads death from his
traveling carnival. Caligari’s star attraction is Cesare, a spidery
sleepwalker who obeys his every command. At night once the crowds
have dispersed, Caligari lifts the lid on darker intentions, unleashing
the dreadful Cesare to act out his master’s murderous whims and
carnal desires. Live music accompaniment by multi-instrumentalist
and former International House resident Guglielmo Foffani.
For their support in presenting tonight’s program we wish to thank The German Society of Pennsylvania
(www.germansociety.org), 611 Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia.
