LE CABINET DU DOCTEUR CALIGARI GETS FIRST REVIEW
Caligari receives a very positive review in La Marseillaise on 17/07/10.
"C'est un plaisir d'avoir peur 'pour de faux' et de rêver pour de vrai. (...) Ce foisonnement d'idées de mise en scène est parfaitement orchestrée par la bande son (...). Il y a des passages déroutants et envoutants, drôles et inquietants à la fois".
Which roughly translates to:
"It is a pleasure to pretend to be scared, but to dream for real. (...) This abundance of staging ideas is perfectly orchestrated by the musical score (...). There are passages which are baffling yet captivating, funny yet unnerving simultaneously".
