THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI (1920)

A hypnotist, a somnambulist, and a string of mysterious murders collide in Robert Wiene’s landmark of German Expressionism. With its wildly distorted sets, painted shadows, and warped sense of space, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari helped establish a visual language that would influence horror and cinema for decades to come.

Presented with a live score.
