	Horror Bob Presents: The Horror Review - Egregious Gurnow's Review of "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari/Das Cabinet des ...
		The work was well ahead of its time as its subjective, unreliable narration preceded post-modernism by half a century but, most importantly, the film serves as a mirror which masterfully reflects the fears and anxieties of the time and continues its legacy as one of the greatest cautionary tales ever told on celluloid.
		Wiene posits the possibility that Francis has fabricated the story for one of two reasons: One, to justify his murdering of Alan in order to obtain Jane or two, that it is he, Francis, who is insane and, due to an overactive imagination, has created the story in order to sublimate his own mental deterioration.
		Wisely, Wiene does not provide easy answers nor should he considering the work is not unduly complex but rather is presented in a manner as lucid as the narrator telling the tale.

		The star of that film was Conrad Veidt, who also featured in the only other Wiene film to approach the power of Caligari, The Hands of Orlac, which has Veidt in demented form as the classical pianist who loses his hands and has the hands of a murderer grafted on.
		Wiene began his career as an actor, but it was as a writer that he began working in German films at the age of 32.
		His career was virtually brought to a halt with the Nazis' rise to power, and he fled to France, where he died during production of the film Ultimatum, which was completed for him by his friend Robert Siodmak.

		Wiene's oeuvre, however, exhibits a surprising versatility and quality, featuring Raskolnikov, an expressionist adaptation of Dostoevsky's novel, INRI, a monumental Bible epic, Orlac's Hands, a psychological thriller, and Der Rosenkavalier, an ambitious opera film.
		As the field of film studies rediscovers film history and the value of historical context for the analysis of individual films, monographs on filmmakers are increasingly valuable to scholars and students of both film history and cultural studies.
		Through the provocative and prolific career of Robert Wiene, a wider, more dynamic view of fantasy production in the Weimar Republic is revealed, enabling the reader to better appreciate the complex shapes of Weimar cinema, its inimitable blend of modernism and mass culture, of avant-garde enterprie, and generic production.

	The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari
		A German Expressionist film directed in 1920 by Robert Wiene, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is above all one of the most striking films of cinema.
		In effect, the film is the first and without a doubt the last cinematic work of art that 80 years later still arouses the passion of critics and analyses of film and art enthusiasts.
		Robert Wiene called to the artists of the Der Sturm group (Röhrig, Rienmann & Warm) for the film set decor, combining Expressionist currents under the form of painting, architecture, as well as theatre.

		Der Direktor kommt, Francis stürzt auf ihn zu: "Du bist Caligari!" Er wird überwältigt und fortgeschleppt, doch der Direktor hat sein Leiden erkannt und kennt nun auch den Schlüssel zu seiner Heilung.
		Der Regisseur der Decla, Dr. Robert Wiene, bekam von den beiden österreichischen Autoren Carl Meyer und Hans Janowitz ein etwas abstruses Filmbuch "Das Kabinett des Dr. Caligari".
		Robert Wiene führt die Regie mit gewohnter Meisterschaft und vermittelte im Verein mit den Kunstmalern Warm, Reimann und Röhrig starke Eindrücke, unterstützt durch die brillante photographische Wiedergabe.

	Classic-Horror Review of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)
		The plot was not meant to offer an entertaining escape from the modern world, but to get inside the heads of the audience so deeply that they question their own sanity.
		Wiene plays on this doubt even in the costume choices for this scene.
		Just when the audience is thoroughly uneasy, Wiene, as if to drop his pants and moon the audience’s sanity, commits the ultimate crime to our consciousness -- he makes the insane asylum in the film have the exact same look as the surrounding environment.

	Michael Galasso Music
		Robert Wilson and Michael Galasso collaborated on "Les Fables de La Fontaine" for the Comédie-Française, which premiered January 30, 2004 in Paris and has been an enormous critical and public success.
		Composer, violinist and musical director Michael Galasso was born in Hammond, Louisiana in 1949, to a concert violinist father and an oboist mother.
		The music is integrated with the entire theatrical work without losing its autonomy and at the same time continuously commenting on the scenic and choreographic elements.

	THE CABINET OF CALIGARI - DVD
		The film was scripted by Robert Bloch, who authored the novel on which Psycho is based and went on to have a lustrous career in the B-movie circuit cranking out exploitation pictures about "crazies" (after The Cabinet of Caligari, he wrote Strait-Jacket and The Night Walker for William Castle).
		The director, Roger Kay (misidentified as Robert Kay within the DVD's liner notes), hails from television--back when hailing from television was kinda the early-sixties equivalent of hailing from music videos.
		The first shot of the film is wonderfully evocative: a demi-circle of light materializes from the dark before transforming into a subjective shot of a car driving through a tunnel.

		Two examples of this approach is The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) by Robert Wiene and the nightmare-like Nosferatu (1919) by F. Murnau.
		A last note: the 1922 film Nanook of the North, directed by the American Robert Flaherty, is often credited as the first great achievement of documentary (or non-fiction) film.
		Flaherty lived among the Eskimos for six months, edited the film back in America, and was lauded for his achievement when the film premiered in New York City.

	dOc DVD Review: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari) (1919)
		I found the score on the Image disc preferable to either of the two presented here, allowing for a sense of the avant-garde without being tedious, as that by Donald Tosin often tends to be.
		This condensation from the Rohauer collection was thought for many years to be all that remained of the film (a snip of a few minutes from the beginning is found on both the Image and Elite discs).
		This excerpt from Der Film im Film (1924) depicts Wiene at the helm of a religious epic, I.N.R.I, directing massive crowd scenes and facing rebellion from the hundreds of extras who are refused overtime pay.

		Although German Expressionist filmmakers F.W. Murnau, Carl Theodore Dreyer, and Fritz Lang are undeniably the premier auteurs of the genre, it all began with Robert Wiene and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Das Kabinett des Doktor Caligari).
		For a 1920 release, Wiene's film certainly looks “modern,” meaning weird enough to still be considered avant-garde.
		Robert Wiene's film mesmerizes with its fantastic swirling and angular Expressionistic sets, worthy of the art museums where the film is often screened.

		This film starts an interest in Harrington in more heroic men, one that stretches over the next decade; his earlier films looked at more sensitive young men, and their mothers.

		The scene of Robert's death is set against a fascinating building.

	The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari - DVDs & VHS - MovieMail UK
		Robert Wiene filmed entirely in the studio without compromise, and no other film uses such overbear ing sets, in which sharp, un-mathematical angles create warped perspectives which consume the performers.
		Instead of exposing the madness inherent in authority, Wiene’s CALIGARI glorified authority and convicted its antagonist of madness, turning a revolutionary film into a conformist one.
		Wiene wanted his film to fulfil his audience’s desire —to mirror the general retreat from the real world.

		The finished film originally released with an elaborate green, brown and cold blue tints thrust German cinema to world prominence and had a tremendous influence on cinematic art worldwide and has a quality that still impresses today.

		Panic in Chicago was the third talking-picture endeavor for Robert Wiene, the director responsible for the landmark horror film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.
		By 1931, Wiene's best work was behind him, and he was busying himself with minor romances and crime pictures.
		Panic is a trifle about an American troublemaker joining forces with his German counterpart.

		In addition, although a lot of the set-ups follow the flat proscenium style of the day (so, a wide shot will cut to a closer-in medium shot, followed by a return to the original wide shot without any change in angle), director Robert Wiene on occasions places his actors very expressively within the shot.
		Two examples: when Francis goes to Alan’s room after his murder there’s a single shot with Francis’s face “in close-up” in the right foreground and the landlady crouched over in the rear on the left — giving a very striking sense of their feelings of shock and horror.
		But Wiene was at the centre of the creative decisions involved in making the film — the initial approval of the design concept, the variations from the script, and above all the controversial frame story.

	The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari - Kino on Video
		The most brilliant example of that dark and twisted film movement known as German expressionism, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a plunge into the mind of insanity that severs all ties with the rational world.
		Director Robert Wiene and a team of designers crafted a nightmare realm in which light, shadow and substance are abstracted, a world in which a demented doctor and a carnival sleepwalker perpetuate a series of murders in a small community.
		This Kino on Video edition is taken from a 35mm print restored by the Bundesarchiv-Filmarchiv of Germany, featuring the original color tinting and toning.
