Description

Madame ZuZu's Cinema Series Continues with Live Piano Accompaniment By Anastasia Royal "The first thing everyone notices and best remembers about "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" (1920) is the film's bizarre look. The actors inhabit a jagged landscape of sharp angles and tilted walls and windows, staircases climbing crazy diagonals, trees with spiky leaves, grass that looks like knives. These radical distortions immediately set the film apart from all earlier ones, which were based on the camera's innate tendency to record reality."- Roger Ebert Madame Zuzu’s, a local plant-based tea shop in Highland Park, Illinois. Owned and operated by musician Billy Corgan, founder of the grammy winning band the Smashing Pumpkins and fashion designer Chloe Mendel combining insanely delicious plant-based foods , rare teas of the world and an open source venue for the arts.
