Fusing carnival spectacle with the paranoia of the psychological thriller, it centres on the haunting, sexually ambivalent presence of Conrad Veidt as Cesare - the somnambulist exploited as an instrument by the sinister Dr. Caligari. David Robinson challenges long accepted versions of the history and reception of Caligari and redefines its relationship to the larger phenomenon of Expressionist art. His reassessment of the relative contributions of director, designers and writers becomes a fascinating detective story, as he investigates the status and significance of the single surviving copy of the original script, which came to light only in the late 1980s when almost all those involved in the production were dead. This second edition features a new introduction that considers the place of German Expressionist cinema within the European revival of Gothic at the turn of the twentieth century, and original cover artwork by Ben Goodman."--Bloomsbury publishing.BFI film classics.Cabinet of Dr. CaligariMotion pictures, GermanMotion pictures, German.791.4372Robinson David1930-169253British Film Institute.UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910827213003321Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari3935149UNINA
