(DAS KABINETT DES DOKTOR CALIGARI, Robert Wiene, Germany 1920, 69 min.)

Two men on a park bench discuss the story of Cesare (Conrad Veidt), a sleepwalking circus performer under the control of the murderous Dr. Caligari (Werner Krauss)—but all, of course, is not quite as it seems. The godfather of German Expressionism, Wiene’s horror classic is still one of the most influential films of all time. Live piano by Philip C. Carli.
