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.

Together, Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mifune created some of the Japanese cinema's most enduring treasures.

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