| The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) is one of the most influential German Expression films |
Coming straight out of the First World War, German filmmakers did not have the money to compete with the lush, creative films being made in Hollywood. So the filmmakers from the German UFA spurred up a genius idea to ditch the extremely pricey sets and use symbolism and mise-en-scene to create depth and space on the small sets whilst creating a deeper meaning to the movie and almost making it a surreal experience.
