The guide
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari makes anxiety part of the scenery. Crooked streets, painted shadows, sharp angles, and theatrical gestures create a world where nothing appears stable or trustworthy. Rather than hiding its artificial sets, the film uses them to place us inside a disturbed state of mind. Its influence is easy to feel whenever horror lets design and atmosphere bend reality.
