影片介紹

鎮上來了一個面目猙獰、形跡可疑的催眠師,他帶著一口棺材在市集表演,棺內蒼白男子沈睡多年,卻會在催眠師的召喚下,睜眼甦醒、預言未來、如夢遊般行動。同一時間,小鎮發生數起謀殺,包括法蘭西斯的好友與愛人紛紛陷入危險,法蘭西斯執迷追兇,殊不知世界就是一座瘋人院⋯⋯。

德國表現主義電影代表作,將德國社會歷經一次世界大戰戰敗後的價值崩壞與死亡恐懼,提煉成一場銀幕夢魘。影評人羅傑艾伯特譽為「第一部真正的恐怖片」,文化評論家克拉考爾從中閱讀出盲目群眾對暴君的潛意識需求,視其為納粹崛起的寓言。精巧劇本堪稱反轉片鼻祖,奇異場景深受彼時反寫實藝術思潮影響,充斥鋸齒、傾斜、歪曲等不規則形狀,成為以外在視覺表現人物病態內心的最佳典範。

Francis, a young man, recalls in his memory the horrible experiences he and his fiancée Jane recently went through. Francis and his friend Alan visit The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, an exhibit where the mysterious doctor shows the somnambulist Cesare, and awakens him for some moments from his death-like sleep. Cesare can allegedly predict the future. Shockingly, he predicts Alan’s death, and by morning his prophecy has come true. Thus, Cesare and Dr. Caligari become the prime suspects.

導演介紹

1873年出生,1908年開始從事劇場表演,1912年跨入電影。納粹崛起後,因猶太人後裔身份流亡英法,期間曾考慮與尚考克多合作,以超現實風格重拍《卡里加利博士的小屋》,然而此計劃在他1938年去世前均未成真。

Robert Wiene was a writer and director, best known for The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) and Raskolnikow (1923), an adaptation of Dostoevsky’s novel Crime and Punishment, both of which have deep influence on the German cinema of that time, as well as Der Rosenkavalier (1925) and Das wandernde Licht (1916) amongst a succession of other expressionist films. Following the Nazi rise to power in Germany, Wiene, who was of Jewish descent, fled into exile.
