A groundbreaker in film history, regarded as the quintessential example of German expressionist cinema, a pioneer in set design, and considered as the earliest horror movie by some critics... Ladies and gentlemen, we present you the digitally restored version of Caligari, which received its world premiere at this year’s Berlinale Film Festival. At a local carnival, hypnotist Dr. Caligari predicts the future through the somnambulist Cesare. But at night, Cesare rises from his coffin-like bed to commit murders in the small town.
