Today, at 8 p.m. as a part of the program ”The Sky Over Germany” citizens of Sarajevo will have the opportunity to see a classic horror film ”The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari” in Meeting Point Cinema Sarajevo.
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari) is a 1920 silent horror film directed by Robert Wiene from a screenplay by Hans Janowitz and Carl Mayer. It is one of the most influential of German Expressionist films and is often considered one of the greatest horror movies of the silent era. The film used stylized sets, with abstract, jagged buildings painted on canvas backdrops and flats. To add to this strange style, the actors used an unrealistic technique that exhibited jerky and dancelike movements. This movie is cited as having introduced the twist ending in cinema.
Cast: Werner Krauss as Dr. Caligari, Conrad Veidt as Cesare,Friedrich Fehér as Francis, Lil Dagover as Jane Olsen, Hans Heinrich von Twardowski as Alan, Rudolf Lettinger as Dr. Olsen.
