An immersive viewing experience of this classic piece of German expressionist cinema with a contemporary soundtrack played live.Following on from a sold out screenings of Nosferatu, Metropolis and The Passion Of Joan Of Arc at various picture houses, the Sprechen Cinema returns to where it all began and lands at The Carlton Club for Halloween with a performance screening of The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari.
Considered the quintessential work of German Expressionist cinema, the film tells the story of an insane hypnotist who uses a brainwashed somnambulist to commit murders. Featuring a dark and twisted visual style, the film plays like a fever dream with sharp-pointed forms, oblique and curving lines, structures and landscapes that lean and twist in unusual angles, and shadows and streaks of light painted directly onto the sets to give a truly visual experience on the senses.
The film has also been re-scored and will be played live byChris Massey&Richie Vvia their own extensive record collections to create an ethereal & celestial soundscape that incorporates diverse genres & styles from electronica, drone, Krautrock, psychedelic, synth-wave, kosmiche & much more by artists such asArthur Russell, NEU!, John Carpenter, Lindstrøm, Konformer, Demdyke Stare, A Certain Ratio, Bill Nelson, Antony Maivvito name a few.
