Art Director of Wiemar Cinema
After a series of all day meetings, tucked into my hotel bed, I found the perfect time (I could only manage to stay awake for a little over an hour) and mental place (I didn’t want to hear any one talk for a while) to watch the silent expressionist classic, The Cabinent of Dr. Caligari.
Regarded as a true masterpiece, the film boasts an incredible set design care of one Hermann Warm, who’s famous manifest states “the cinema image must become an engraving.”
Warm’s other achievements include The Passion of Joan of Arc, and a moody favorite of mine, Vampyr. Below/after the jump see stills from both Caligari and Vampyr.
But what do you think?
