Kino Lorber have sent us a new trailer for the recent 4K restoration of director Robert Wiene's masterpiece The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920). The U.S. distributors will release the film on Blu-ray on November 18th.
The legendary silent film was recently restored in 4K by Murnau-Stiftung in collaboration with the Bundesarchiv-Filmarchiv and L'Immagine Ritrovata - Film Restoration and Conservation. Earlier this year, the new restoration had its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival.
Synopsis: This classic piece of German expressionist cinema employs stylized sets, costumes and make-up to tell its story from a shifting point of view. Dr Caligari runs a side show at a fair where a somnambulist predicts someone's death and that night the person is murdered. The somnambulist turns out to be a lunatic from a local asylum and Dr. Caligari the asylum's insane director.
Special Features:
