Discussion
Movies such as The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, "Metropolis" and "Psycho" are examples of films influenced by which movement ?
Answer: D
The movement is Expressionism.
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Robert Wiene, 1920) and Metropolis (Fritz Lang, 1927) are landmarks of German Expressionist cinema, with distorted sets, stark contrasts of light and shadow and stylised acting that express inner states of fear and madness. Hitchcock worked in German studios in the 1920s, and the shadows, looming staircases and psychological horror of Psycho (1960) show that influence.
Italian neo-realism (Bicycle Thieves) used real locations and non-actors, the opposite of studio stylisation. Surrealism (Bunuel and Dali's Un Chien Andalou) worked with dream logic rather than this look, and social realism is a documentary-like portrayal of working-class life.
