A stunning experiment in cinematic surrealism and psychological horror that set the tone for many later works. Werner Krauss stars as the hypnotist/showman who travels through a weirdly distorted German countryside and unleashes Cesare, his somnambulist slave, on the townspeople. With Conrad Veidt, Lil Dagover. 82 min. Standard; Soundtrack: music score. Silent with music score.
