If you loved Dr. Caligari, try Vampire's Kiss
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theyboth carry the pitch black, surreal, unhinged mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Fantasy / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Dr. Caligari, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Vampire's Kiss is
Red light district at midnight. A silk scarf suddenly tightens around a man’s neck. His secretary’s coffee cup rattles on a desk. The deluxe office begins to smell faintly of iron and night-blooming jasmine. A distressed voice crackles over the intercom. Apologies turn to threats. A gold Cross watch chain snaps between clenched teeth. Nicolas Roeg’s lush, paranoid fever dream from the late 80s.
