1984. 100pp. Complete screenplay of the film plus 20 pages of b&w photos from the film. Book in excellent condition. Light wear to edges but generally in excellent condition with no inscriptions. "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is one of the great classics of the German Expressionist cinema and one of the most influential films ever made. Its crazily painted sets and obsession with mental cruelty and madness set the tone of the German cinema for many years to come. Its themes of human exploitation and brutal murder prefigured the spiritual and moral climate of Nazi Germany. . The original screenplay for the film, by Hans Janowitz and Carl Mayer, was revolutionary in this examination of arbitrary authority. The deranged director of a psychiatric institution adopts the identity of an eighteenth-century Italian showman called Caligari, who had hypnotised a somnambulist called Cesare and obliged him to commit a number of murders while in a hypnotic state. This latter-day Caligari also obliges a somnambulist called Cesare to commit a number of murders, bringing terror to a fictitious German town. When the film was finally shot, the director Robert Wiene introduced a framing story, whereby the whole series of events concerning the modern Caligari are shown to exist only in the feverish imagination of a patient in the director's own institution. . This edition of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari has been prepared from a shot-by-shot viewing of the film. The introductory material includes Siegfried Kracauer's famous essay on Caligari, an account of how the screenplay became the film by Erich Pom-mer and an appreciation by Paul Rotha. The text is illustrated with almost fifty stills.".…
