People Who Lived e. 1 - Caligari, the Dreamer, and the Devil






I want to try something a little different, so here's episode one of a show I'm beginning here called People Who Lived, just simple short storytelling about people (usually from the arts or figures from history) who did something worth remembering, something that can help us make sense of our trouble times.

So here's episode one: Caligari, the Dreamer, and the Devil, about Conrad Veidt and Werner Krauss, two actors in Weimar Germany who found success together co-starring in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and whose lives diverged dramatically when the war came.
