Review of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

I know this film is a masterpiece, one of the most influential films ever made and a prime example of German expressionism. And the sets still look amazing. But compared to some other silent films from the same period, I think Das Cabinet is a bit of a slow movie at times. Sometimes this work to maximize the tension, such as the scene where Cesare sneaks up to the girl. But most of the time it makes this 114 minutes film feel longer than the 2,5 hours of Intolerance (made around the same time). It is a must see classic, just a bit too slow for my part.
