The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a silent film directed by Robert Wiene from a screenplay written by Hans Janowitz and Carl Mayer. They met each other in Berlin following World War I. The two saw the then-new film medium as a revolutionary form of artistic expression because visual storytelling that necessitated collaboration between writers and painters, cameramen, actors, directors. They felt that film was the ideal medium through which to both call attention to the emerging pacifism in postwar Germany and exhibit the radical anti-bourgeois art.
One evening, they saw a sideshow titled "Man and Machine", in which a man did feats of strength and forecast the future while supposedly in a hypnotic trance. Inspired by this, Janowitz and Mayer devised their story that night and wrote it in the following six weeks. The name "Caligari" came from a book Mayer read, in which an officer named Caligari was mentioned.
The arrival of the traveling magician Dr Caligari and Cesare in a town coincides with savage killings. Secretly Caligari was an asylum director who hypnotizes Cesare to re enact murders. But the final reel contains something which will leave an audience shattered. It blows away all your moral certainties and beliefs.
The film has been read as an allegory for German social attitudes in the period preceding World War II. The character of Caligari should represent a tyrannical figure, to whom the only alternative is social chaos.
