The Mad Doctor Meets the Somnambulist

What happens is the first commercially successful art film (link affiljat). Il-Kabinett ta 'Dr. Caligari (1920) kien rilaxxat f'Jannar 1920 issir sensazzjoni Ġermaniż u internazzjonali. Hija mmarkat il-bidu ta 'qawmien mill-ġdid film Ġermaniż matul il-1920s

The German Expressionist Movement in German art strongly influenced this film. Expressionist paintings were known for buildings sloped at odd angles, oddly shaped furniture, eċċ.

Disinn sett tal-film rifless dan l-istil tal-kompożizzjoni. Bini, bibien u toroq kollha slope f'angoli fard jew huma forom irregolari. Għamara huwa wkoll oddly forma. Sedili Chairpersons huma sitt saqajn fl-arja, libreriji dgħif u siġġijiet għandhom dhur irregolari.

Madankollu, Robert Weine filmed in a standard continuity format making the story understandable to the average viewer. L-istorja nnifisha hija orrur u ditektif istorja told mill-perspettiva wieħed raġel, storja fi storja.

A barrani misterjuża jismu Dr. Caligari, played by Werner Krauss, wasal biex Hollstenwall biex juru somnambulist Cesare, portrayed by Conrad Veidt. A somnambulist sleeps for days on end. Cesare kien allegatament slept għal 20 li 30 snin. Inzerta jew le, a series of murders occur once Caligari and Cesare arrive in Hollstenwall.

Il-protagonisti tal-film huwa Francis (Friedrich Feher), li hu fl-imħabba ma 'Jane (Lil Dagover). Francis’ friend is murdered leading Francis to pursue Dr. Caligari, min hu jemmen hu responsabbli. Il-film huwa tensjoni kontinwa quddiem u lura bejn Francis u Caligari, which is complicated by Cesare’s infatuation with Jane, Francis’ love interest.

The film contains a twist ending I won’t spoil for you. Madankollu, inti għandek tkun taf li l-kittieba tal-film, Hans Janowitz u Carl Mayer, opponew bil-qawwa l-bidliet. Direttur Robert Weine ma jemmnu udjenzi se taċċetta l-film mingħajr it-tmiem twist.

Inti se tkun trid tara dan movie fuq Edition DVD-Kollettur Speċjali, li restawrata l-film għall-veloċità oriġinali tiegħu ta ' 18 pied kull sekonda. Films Amerikani kienu sparati fil 24 pied kull sekonda. Meta l-kopji oriġinali għal distribuzzjoni video saru, a copy of the film was recorded on a 24 pied kull sekonda projector. Ir-reġistrazzjoni f'veloċità differenti għamlu l-film tfittex ftit quirky u ġrew. Il-film attwalment għandha b'pass ħafna deliberat, when viewed at the proper projection speed.

The Expressionist scenery will distract you at first. When I first watched the film about ten years ago for a college class, my wife and kids thought I was watching some 1960s psychedelic drug film. Even after explaining Expressionism, ħasbu li kien fard. It-tlieta ta 'tfal tiegħi jkollhom jaraw il-film għal reviżjonijiet mħallta. I ser tavżak tiddeċiedi fuq il-film innifsek.

Aġġornament: I recently saw the restored version on Netflix. I recommend this copy also.
