    Needless to say, the play-in-play plus the flipped narrative structure and the creepy and dreamy art design are cool no matter how you look at them. The film texture and occasional frame skipping add a bit of a terrifying and eerie atmosphere. On the contrary, the tortuous criticism of the "bourgeoisie" propaganda in the history of the film is not obvious, but this is not the focus of this film, the confused mental state...

    It was the first time I had to watch a silent film in its entirety, and it was pretty good. Silent, suspenseful, thriller. . very...

    9.5/10. A mental patient told a story of fantasizing the dean as a "mentally ill" and himself as a "hero who exposes sin and brings beauty back". The film was the pioneering work of German Expressionism and is widely regarded as the first true horror film. The audio-visual design of the film is extremely stylized and original from beginning to end, with slanted and deformed sets and subtitle cards (all kinds of weird lines), twisted and weird perspectives and lighting (such as all kinds of...

    Artist's film. In addition, the version I watched is full of JAZZ with noise experiments. The music is good, and I am trying to fit the mood of the movie. It is right for future generations to protect and restore the classics, but can we stop...

    No subtitle. English. To be honest, people from 90 years ago were really scared to death =. = Silent film looks sleepy, and the music from beginning to end also makes my ears cocooned, but Su! Suuki's kinky concert is as good as the Germans! So I am rare!...

    A masterpiece of expressionism, the use of makeup, costumes, music and lighting to create a terrifying atmosphere is very good. The set is still in the style of George Méliès's stage play in "Moon Voyager", which is very classic. But the performance is still the way of the stage play, which is too exaggerated and contrived, but how can we be demanding about the movies in 1920? Samsung and a...

    After reading this, I finally understand why German Expressionism is the predecessor of terrorism. I like the ending, and the close-up of Caligari's expression at the end has a special meaning. The clarity of the version I saw is too poor, and there is no light and shadow effect at all... But the set is really...
