We viewed the restored version of Dr Caligari posted below. Clearly the soundtrack is a contemporary piece of music which, I guess, was commissioned especially for the restored film. It is, I think, perfectly matched; more an interpretation through music of the emotional core of the film than accompaniment. Together they work a treat.

First day back at school
Lectures began today with the first (of two this week) of my Film Studies course. Following the lecture we viewed two movies from 1919 / 1920 - Buster Keaton's The Scarecrow and Robert Weine's Das Cabinet des Dr. Cligari - German Expressionism at its most insistent. Both are excellent works in their different ways. The course certainly started well.
