The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
What force drives a man insane?
A visually expressionistic remake that uses digital artifice to recreate the nightmarish, distorted logic of the original silent classic, exploring madness and manipulation through an unsettling, deliberately artificial aesthetic.
Remake of Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (1920). Shot entirely on green screen. Some exact shots from the 1920 film were superimposed to properly replicate the original. Francis relates the story of traveling magician Dr. Caligari and Cesare. Their arrival in a town coincides with savage killings.
