Cabinet of Dr Caligari DVD. Cactus Flower DVD DVD When the annual fair comes to town, murder, madness and mayhem creep in its shadows. Dr. Caligari, a mysterious hypnotist, appears to control every move of his bizarre, clairvoyant sleepwalker, but does he?

Follow a new twist in the warped road of delirium in this 'remix' of this silent film era classic.

Cabinet of Dr Caligari DVD. Cactus Flower DVD Movie The film that forged the dark, ominous cinematic movement known as German Expressionism - and influenced vanguard filmmakers for generations - at last regains its original, electrifying authority in this definitive presentation of Robert Wiene's THE CABINET OF DR. CALIGARI.
Werner Krauss stars as a deranged hypnotist who spreads death through the countryside from a ramshackle traveling carnival. Before the naive eyes of the townspeople, he unveils the contents of his coffin-like cabinet: Cesare (Conrad Veidt), a spidery sleepwalker who obeys his every command. But at night, once the crowds have disappeared, Caligari lifts the lid on darker intentions, unleashing the dreadful Cesare to act upon his master's murderous whims and carnal desires.
In making CALIGARI, director Wiene and designers Warm, Reimann and Rohrig combined techniques of painting, theatre and film to conjure a nightmare world of splintered reality... boldly creating a visual representation of insanity... taking the art of cinema a lengthy stride into unexplored stylistic and psychological terrain, hinting at the terrifying power the medium might possess.
Also featured in this DVD is an excerpt of GENUINE, which reunited CALIGARI's creative team to continue their radical experiments with expressionistic sets of imagery. |

Cabinet of Dr Caligari DVD. Cactus Flower DVD Video This silent masterpiece has been called the first "cult" movie and the first horror film of genuine quality and substance. A young student, Francis, (Freidrich Feher) encounters evil magician, Dr. Caligari (Werner Kraus), at a county fair. Caligari's "act" consists of waking a frightening somnambulist, Cesare, from the coffin where, it is claimed, he has lain asleep for years. When Francis' best friend is murdered and a killing spree erupts in the small village, he suspects that Caligari is using Cesare to commit the ghastly crimes. When Cesare is sent to murder the student's fiance, Joan (Lil Dagover), he is so smitten with her beauty that he abducts her instead. Francis tracks Caligari to a nearby insane asylum where he is horrified to learn that the doctor is not an inmate but the director of the institution! The surprise ending is as shocking and perplexing today as it was when originally released. |

Cabiria DVD. Cactus Flower DVD Review Inspired by grand opera and Italy's imperialist victory in the Libyan War (1911-12), the Italian movie industry produced dozens of historical epics in the period just before WW I. The most influential and successful of these was Cabiria, the visually spectacular film which set the standard for big-budget feature-length movies around the world.
The story concerns a girl, Cabiria, who is separated from her parents during the PunicWars in the Third Century B.C. In her odyssey through the world of ancient Rome she observes the eruption of Mt. Etna, endures capture by pirates, views the barbaric splendor of Carthage, and witnesses both human sacrifice and Hannibal crossing the Alps. In addition to the meticulous care given to costume and set design, Cabiria was also filmed in on location in North Africa, Sicily and the Italian Alps. |
