The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)

Although it doesn’t contain the types of scares modern-day audiences are used to, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari has a haunting, eerily chilling quality. This movie is over a hundred years old. Everyone who starred in it, who was behind the camera when it was made, who saw it upon its initial release is dead and gone. All that’s left of them are these strange images in this imaginary story. No one involved could’ve imagined that a century later, their work would still be influential. Made before sound recordings or colour cinema was possible and before modern-day cinematic techniques were established, it looks unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Combined with its subject matter, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari feels less like a movie from long ago and more like a glimpse into another reality.

Told in flashback, the story takes places in Holstenwall, where the town fair is in full swing. Francis (Friedrich Fehér) and his friend Alan (Hans Heinz v. Twardowski) attend a new attraction presented by Dr. Caligari (Werner Krauss). He commands a somnambulist named Cesare (Conrad Veidt) to tell audiences about the future. Cesare’s predictions of death prove to be true: there is a serial killer in Holstenwall.

The most striking aspect of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is the art direction. Buildings lean unnaturally, doorways, stairs, and streets twist like something out of a madman’s notebook. Pieces of furniture are disproportionate to the people who use them. Trees are hardly recognizable as living things. The architecture's angles, curves, and spirals are such that you might not notice a broken window in the background despite it being intact in the previous scene. The shadows are painted, which means people can move through them without disturbing the light. It’s like these places and people are merely fragments of an un-reality, or (appropriately enough) ghosts reliving their actions as best they can considering their life is over. More than an experiment in style, these visuals emphasize the panic Francis and his sweetheart Jane (Lil Dagover) experience as the murders continue. They also employ excellent graphic design techniques. Your eye is naturally drawn to important objects or characters as they follow the bold lines on-screen.

To casual moviegoers, the performances in old films tend to feel over-the-top. We’re used to natural performances, realistic dialogue and sets that mimic our world. Nothing you see in Caligari resembles real life but that’s the point. Even the title cards use a font reminiscent of insane asylum scribbles. The performances turn out to be just about perfect because of how they exaggerated they are. Rather than feel dated, this 1920 film is immediate and mesmerizing.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is the kind of movie you could watch a hundred times and still feel like you haven't seen it all. You can tell why it had an impact on filmmakers like Tim Burton and is very much the sort of movie that makes you repeatedly go "Oh! That's where that's from!" It’s so different from what we’re used to that you cannot forget the way it looks or feels. (On Blu-ray, January 15, 2021)
