02
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Why this pick
Its asylum-adjacent nightmare atmosphere, unstable perception and aggressively expressionist design make it a natural companion to Teinosuke Kinugasa’s feverish vision.
03
The Last Laugh
Why this pick
Though less horrific, its highly mobile camera and visual identification with a humiliated protagonist offer the same immersive silent-cinema subjectivity.
04
Man with a Movie Camera
Why this pick
For the exhilarating montage side of A Page of Madness: an urban silent film that turns editing, rhythm and visual distortion into pure sensation.
05
The Phantom Carriage
Why this pick
Its haunted moral drama and pioneering layered imagery sustain a similarly uncanny mood, balancing spectral spectacle with a deeply troubled central figure.
