ftapb1 I love this movie. It is one of my favorites of all time. The connection between it and the original are subtle but present. I am not going to spoil it by giving those away, but I do recommend watching the 1920 movie first, then this one and think about what it would have been like without the revelation at the end. This movie lacks the revelation, it is up to the viewer to deduce it. I saw a number of reviews of this movie that made the claim it had no connection to the original outside of title (on other sites, here loved it or hated it). Sad, sorry people that did not get it. I think that both this movie and the director should get more acclaim for not just this film but his adult titles as well.
Mshoodooguru If you you want full-on vaginal stimulation, and complete disregard for men and the male species,this is a must for anybody. Put your Bikini kill, Red Aunts, and L7 on hold,strip down to your panties, grab your baby oil and pop this video into your VCR. Dr. caligari has great dialog, can start a riot in any grrrl spouse or husband. Guess what? A woman can't be satisfied by her husband, and her husband really tried, but I guess she could stay off the wiener wagon, so he sends her off to an insane asylum. Someone had the sense to play this at "A Nightclub" in Minneapolis,brings out the best in a 1980's art film, compliments on culture,and integrity of the human race. I'll make it twist like a rubberband until it snaps.
lastempress I just watched "Dr. Caligari" and I can honestly say that this is the absolute WORST movie I have ever seen!! A friend recommended it to me. He said it was "sort of like a B movie". This was an F movie. The acting was terrible. The sets looked like they were created by a 5 year old. The editing was laughable. I can't believe I wasted a small percentage of my life watching it. I've seen amateur student films that were way better than this!! The only thing I found remotely interesting was that Dr. Caligari has a strong resemblance to Siouxsie Sioux. While watching this piece of crap that passes itself for a movie, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. You wouldn't believe the relief I felt when I saw "The End" on the screen. The only reason I watched the whole thing was because I told me friend I would. Again, WORST MOVIE EVER!!!
raff-10 Stephen Sayadian's (AKA: Rinse Dream)tribute to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari tops the great style of Cafe Flesh and Night Dreams. A must see for fans of German Expressionism, New Wave (music & sets not film style, Adult humor, Sci-fi, Psychedelic cinema, Cult films and Black Comedy. The plot takes us to a cold, bleak future where the great grand daughter of the original Dr. Caligari is performing psycho-sexual experiments on mentally ill people. Her final "creation" is to switch the personalities of a serial killer cannibal and a nympho housewife, to great results!!! Dialog is delivered in an over the top, mock "arty" way. Characters pose and swish in stiff robotic style and deliver over the top, mock "arty" dialog without missing a beat of this well staged masterpiece. Not for everyone, only for the truly DEVO.
