This film is considered the prelude to expressionism in German cinema. Until the last part of the movie,
Francis, who is in the mental hospital, tells a dream involving the director of the hospital, his beloved girl
Jane and the other patient Cesare. He depicts Doctor Caligari as the evil and murderer. When we come
to the last part of the film, we realize that in fact, Doctor Caligari is the director of the hospital and
Francis is mentally ill. Here we can see how much Francis was afraid of the hospital doctor Caligari. The
sounds and images in the film also formed the element of fear in the consciousness of the audience.
