The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

1920, Robert Wiene

4.7/5

Francis, a young man, recalls in his memory the horrible experiences he and his fiancée Jane recently went through. It is the annual fair in Holstenwall. 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. When Alan asks Cesare about his future, Cesare answers that he will die before dawn. The next morning Alan is found dead. Francis suspects Cesare of being the murderer, and starts spying on him and Dr. Caligari. The following night Cesare is going to stab Jane in her bed, but softens when he sees the beautiful woman, and instead of committing another murder, he abducts her. Jane's father awakens because of the noise, and he and some servants follow the fleeing Cesare. When Cesare cannot outrun his pursuers anymore, he gently places Jane down on the ground, and runs away. Francis and the police investigate the caravan of Dr. Caligari, but the doctor succeeds in slipping away. Francis pursues the fleeing Dr. Caligari, and sees him disappear into a madhouse. Francis enters the madhouse, where he is sure he will find the truth behind all these mysterious events.

Adventure focused

Where action isn't the main element in the film, it's about the adventure. Also many fantasy/comedy genre in here too

1900-1929: Silent Era

Silent films I've watched from before the talkies i.e. 1900-1929ish, but there were a few early talkies as the new technology developed in the late 1920s. Mostly sci-fi/fantasy, horror, a few drama (NOTE: If you wanna watch these too, there are restored versions with gorgeous soundtracks on youtube of many silent films, a few I found on internet archive)

German Expressionism

Early 20th century film movement that I love. I've been slowly watching as many films in this style of possible. So I've got to a point where I can start a list.
