The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Not on view
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari was one of the first horror films and one of the first art films meant for a general audience. The radically Expressionist mise-en-scène–the film's most famous feature today–used flat sets set at sharp angles, painted with jagged shards of light and shade behind the actors. This still, one of a pair from Caligari in the Museum's collection, shows the somnambulist Cesare absconding with the heroine Jane.
