Celebrate Halloween-eve at the Gregg Museum of Art & Design with a chilling film screening of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Attendees can wear costumes.
The 1920 silent horror film, directed by Robert Weine and from a screenplay by Hans Janowitz and Carl Mayer, features a dark and twisted visual style, with sharp-pointed forms, oblique, curving lines, structures and landscapes that lean and twist in unusual angles and shadows and streaks of light painted directly onto the sets. Considered the quintessential work of German Expressionist cinema, the movie tells the story of an insane hypnotist (Werner Krauss) who uses a brainwashed somnambulist (Conrad Veidt) to commit murders.
