Hard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Jacket spine lightly toned. 1990 Hard Cover. 533 pp. Italian and English text. A retrospective of German silent films, taking its name from the 1920 silent horror film Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari), widely considered a masterpiece of the Expressionist style of cinema, and which film critic Siegfried Kracauer argued presaged Adolf Hitler's rise to power. Roger Ebert called it 'the first true horror film,' and others argue that it heralded the age of cult films and arthouse productions, and inspired the development of the horror and film noir genres. Black-and white film stills and reproduction of advertisements throughout.
