This masterpiece by the director of Caligari contains not only traces of expressionist aesthetics, but also a reflection on the film medium’s most fundamental elements. Movement, acceleration, and sensation are combined with a tragic love story of mutual misunderstanding. The plot of the film begins with the tragic and unexpected end of a train journey in which the pianist Orlac loses his hands.
