Englisch Sayadian’s Dr. Caligari is a psychosexual variation on and sequel to Robert Wiene's expressionist classic The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920). This purely conceptual work combines within itself the practices of experimental theatre and the expressive style of silent movies, which conditions not only the actors’ expressions and gestures, but also the work with the mise-en-scene, cinematography and editing. Sayadian doesn’t slavishly copy or imitate the style of silent movies, but rather comes up with its modern equivalent with sound and colour. Though Dr. Caligari works only as an experimental film, it remains consistently fresh and fascinating. ()
