The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is the most brilliant icon of German Expressionism. The movie exhibits a tale of a mysterious showman who arrives in a small European town at the time of its annual fair. He intends to amaze the crowds with a genuine somnambulist named Cesare who knows the past and sees the future. That same night, a series of bizarre murders begins to take place. Francis and Alan go to see Dr. Caligari‘s show, and the somnambulist predicts that Alan will be dead by dawn, which actually happens. Francis suspects that Cesare and Caligari have something to do with Alan`s death. So, he follows Caligari`s track to an asylum. When Francis goes to see the head of the asylum, he realizes that it is Caligari himself.
