The Cabinet of Dr. Calagari

Although I didn't feel the end was very clear as to how the inmate would be cured, it was interesting to see the full connection of the plot. This movie was easier to watch, and it was also more visually coherent. I suppose it was an elaborate fairy tale, the man was trying to escape his prison or at least define why he was there in the first place. The set design reminded me of a fantastical place, a fairy tale of sorts, and the contrast of the shapes helped the focus of the acting.
