The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

Often cited as the first true horror movie and one of the first films to tell its story through the eyes of a delirious madman, the techniques of this film milestone are rarely imitated. Eschewing naturalism, the movie's sets are all painted in hallucinatory black-and-white designs and the acting, as well, follows Expressionistic techniques popular in Germany at the time.

"...Mike Maddux. Over the last year, Price and the Dobie Theatre have presented two other silent films (Nosferatu and..."

"...Beginning Friday, the Dobie Theatre celebrates this partnership with an eight-film retrospective, showcasing..."
