	DVD Times: Other DVD Reviews: The Cabinet of Dr Caligari
		The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1919) is a curious anomaly: it's a film that's had very few direct imitators (it arguably inspired more stage designers than film-makers), but it's nonetheless unquestionably one of the most visually and thematically influential films ever made.
		What set Caligari apart from other films of the period was the way in which it conveyed extreme psychological states through deliberately distorted visual imagery - it wasn't the first film to create an entirely new world, but it was certainly one of the earliest truly memorable attempts.
		Doctor Caligari is an avuncular yet strangely sinister figure who turns up one day in a small German town and wows the local populace with his hypnotic powers, as practiced on the somnambulist Cesare, a gaunt, pallid figure clad from head to foot in black.
