Dr. Caligari (1989)
8/10
Trippy Trip
27 March 2024
One of those movies that will bore some to death and others will just have a nice and entertaining trip. I belong to the latter group. Dr. Calgari provides a lot of fun ideas, over-acting par excellence, nice trippy settings, and a grotesque story that is a great relief from all those formula X movies we usually get served especially the past years. Also, for all students of movie-making, this is a nice example of how to make a fine eye-candy movie without a big budget, and happily, without the use of all those generic computer-generated effects of today - this one beats 90% of Marvel and DC movies of the past years easily. Anyway, if you like your dish sometimes trippy, this one may work for you - maybe. I enjoyed the ride - my exact rating is 7 + 1 extra for the fine trippy quality of the movie. So in my opinion this little flick is worth a try for the connoisseur of the unusual cinematic experience. Alone the dialogues were worth my time.
