The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Directed by Robert Wiene
A somnambulist, a travelling carnival, and a town drawn by a hand that refuses to use a right angle. The oldest nightmare in the book, still the most beautifully designed.
Screening note
Watch the walls. They lean because the world has become unreliable; the sets are doing the acting.
