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 clip features music from an alternate score produced by DJ Spooky. Street date is 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:
