The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

I watched the new version, where they added sound. It's an Inde-remake, and although I sensed some homage, and a bit of sincerity, I'm afraid I didn't feel anything real in the film.

The story revolves around a young man who tells his experiences with a sideshow act - Dr. Caligari and his fortunetelling somnambulist - linked heavily to a string of local murders. It's a psychological tale with some creative sets, but not a lot of real art. I'll be watching the original eventually, and I'm hoping to see something more visually stimulating, but I hold out little or no hope for the plot.
