spoiler. Be careful. The mental patients in the mental hospital rebelled against the authority of the so-called director of the mental hospital in the imaginary story, and exchanged their disciplinary status with the other party in the fantasy. The torture they suffered in reality was revenged in...

A masterpiece of German expressionism. Technically it would seem clumsy these days. But it is very serious and touching. A story about a mental hospital. Obsessive-compulsive disorder, delusional disorder, sleepwalking disorder. Very good screenwriter. It should be said that many subsequent suspect...

The film does not have the kind of scenes that are commonly seen now that will cause people to feel uncomfortable, or the supernatural scenes that are too ideal. The set uses irregular lines everywhere. What impresses me is the insolent and hideous subtitle letters, the doctor is crooked. The...

As the pioneer of German expressionist films, the "originator of horror/thriller films" that later generations have been imitating, even today, nearly a hundred years later, "Dr. Caligari's Cabin" does not appear to be the plot, the set, or the composition. Rough cliché. Because of its long...

In 1920, less than 30 years after the technology of film was invented, because the art world was tired of realism, expressionism was perfectly presented for the first time in film. The set is fantastic and fresh, and the two symmetrical high chairs of the police station have an absurd feel. The key...

It can really be said that I watched it on my knees... It should be the earliest movie about psychoanalysis and mental patients. In contrast, Hitchcock or DePalma can only be regarded as standing on the shoulders of giants.

The first is the set, the bizarre and weird buildings and the patterns on...

Expressionism started in the 1910s. It first emerged in the field of painting, and then quickly developed in literature, drama, music and architectural art, and gradually formed a magnificent and extraordinary literary and artistic movement. After the First World War, the expansion of German...

The pioneering work of German expressionism. Different from the films of the same period that focused on realistic themes, this film mainly depicts the inner world and his imagination of a mental patient. Therefore, most of the sets in this film have a strong sense of psychedelic and absurdity. ,...
