Co-Sponsored by the Goethe Institute, S.F. Robert Vaughn on the Wurlitzer Organ. Admission: $8. (Das Kabinett des Dr. Caligari). A rare archival print made off of original prints, exquisitely color-tinted and toned, gives new dimension to the Expressionist decor of this film which remains the ultimate revelation of narrative through set design. Even the exquisitely chiseled face of Conrad Veidt seems cut to reflect the angled shadows and interiors through which he somnambulistically slips, under the control of the evil Caligari. With roots in fantasy, romanticism and medieval stories, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is also intensely modern, and like the best science fiction carries a warning for the future. Made just after the first world war, it augured the second in its chilling tale of mind-control and murder, written by two men who shared a hatred for militarism and authoritarianism. A decade before Hitler's rise the fictional Caligari wrote in his diary, "Now I shall be able to prove whether a somnambulist...one in a trance, can be driven to murder." A prologue and epilogue added by the producer helped re-route these charged political themes into a tale of personal madness.
