An early example of German expressionism, this film (although black and white and silent) has served as inspiration for artists, musicians and film makers alike for generations. By far the best silent film I have ever seen, this silent film takes you on a bizarre walk through all the twisted imagery of the human mind as a Burton film long before its time. A very under-rated film that very few know about that still has the same chilling effect that hasn't lost its touch. (I saw a crappy Youtube version that was very glitchy,but liked what I could make out. so I decided that I should see a legitimate copy.)
I like how it tackles what is at stake in a lot of horror films: how a victimized monsters actions arguably act out very distinctive repressed feelings,according to the point of view we chose. I decide to buy this film because Caligari undoubtedly offers a dark mirror image of german society, maybe even one of the darkest.Ranging form post-war Amaerican film noir to contempoaray Goth brands,its influence has been wide ranging to say the least.
Early German existentialist classic remastered. Excellent

I owned the VHS of this movie, but wanted it on DVD, for obvious reasons. I'm so very glad I bought it. What stage sets! And what interesting subject matter. I'll be keeping this one in my library forever.
