First released in 1920, The Cabinet of Dr Caligari, will always be one of the silent films that will live on through cinematic history. This German expressionism silent horror, originally inspired by the writers Carl Mayer and Hans Janowitz’s experiences during World War One, is known for the twist ending and story structure, which apparently were not included by choice by the writers. Yet these devices are part of the reason the film has gained its iconic status, along with the style and design of the film that will forever be recognised.
