9.5/10. A mental patient told a story of fantasizing the dean as a "mentally ill" and himself as a "hero who exposes sin and brings beauty back". The film was the pioneering work of German Expressionism and is widely regarded as the first true horror film. The audio-visual design of the film is extremely stylized and original from beginning to end, with slanted and deformed sets and subtitle cards (all kinds of weird lines), twisted and weird perspectives and lighting (such as all kinds of lighting from bottom to top) , exaggerated and bizarre makeup and performances, murders shown by shadows on the wall, near-camera-free movement (replaced with mask-style fading, direct switching of scenes or scenes, etc.), different colors but all revealing eerie film, etc. Wait. Be sure to pick the fault, that is, it was born too early, resulting in some inevitable limitations in audio-visual language (Note: limitations ≠ old-fashioned feeling)

【How can you miss the centenary! ] The representative of German expressionism, the classic of black horror films. The last scene is very similar to "Shutter Island". It was originally directed by Frieze Lang, but after reading the script, he felt that it could not be made into an expressionist style, and then handed it over to the newcomer Robert Venet. PS: The environments in this movie are completely different from the real ones. The characters’ living bedrooms, city halls, etc. are full of sloping, two-dimensional right-angled roofs, deformed windows, narrow doors, Very abstract light and so on.
