Have at it, people! Remember--whatever you say needs evidence from the film...

Caligari/Nosferatu

Watch F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu and compare and contrast it with The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Read Roger Ebert's essay on Murnau's masterpiece, his essay on Caligari , and Krakauer's essay "From Caligari to Hitler." Discuss the Expressionistic mise-en-scene of both films and how they represent Germany before the rise of Hitler and WWII. Include at least one quote from each essay. Your response should be a minimum of 3 paragraphs. Be sure to write cinematically. 

If you want to re-watch Caligari, go here. Nosferatu can be found here.
