Have you met Dr. Caligari? A trailer has debuted for the restored re-release of the 1920 German silent film classic The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, from filmmaker Robert Wiene. The film, with its jagged sets and "sinister atmospheric and psychological emphasis", has been restored to full 4K quality and is headed back to theaters again later this summer, almost 100 years after its initial release in 1920. It's only a teaser and it doesn't show much (then again, it doesn't need to!) but I'm still happy to feature it. If you are a fan of this film, then here's a reminder that it's being restored and re-released (on Amazon Instant already). If you've never heard of it before, well, now you have and maybe you can start a lesson in silent film with this. Enjoy!
