He parades around his “somnambulist” Cesare, a lanky, gaunt, hollow-eyed sleepwalker who, for 23 years, has been kept in a coffin \u0026amp; awakened only to predict the future. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMysterious deaths plague the town. When Cesare predicts Franzis’s friend’s death, he becomes suspicious of Cesare. But we learn that Caligari, obsessed with control \u0026amp; power, has been hypnotizing Cesare \u0026amp; making him commit the murders. Cesare attempts to target Franzis’s love interest, Jane, but is chased \u0026amp; captured.

We realize he is actually an asylum inmate, and “Dr. Caligari” is a doctor who says he can cure Franzis of his delusions.

Sharp black paint streaks across canvas while buildings, walls, \u0026amp; doors tilt at exaggerated angles. Chiaroscuro lighting creates extreme contrast \u0026amp; shadow.
