The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari review



This silent short film was directed by Robert Weine in 1920. It follows Dr. Caligari (Werner Krauss), a hypnotist who travels to different circuses with his somnambulist Cesare (Conrad Veidt) and in one town they visit various murders occur. Little to the town's knowledge, Caligari had actually been ordering Cesare to perform these murders. Cesare and Caligari eventually get found out by Francis (Friedrich Feher) who is the "hero" of this film. I give this short film a personal score of 8.5/10.
