Caligari's Cure, Reel 1
Identifier
F.2013-08-0007
Date Of Production
1982
Abstract
Most well-known for his off-beat and darkly comedic documentaries about life on the margins, Chicago filmmaker Tom Palazzolo took his first stab at feature-length fictional storytelling with Caligari’s Cure, an irreverent retelling of his Catholic up-bringing that is both absurd and tender. Chicago (very loosely) plays a bizarro St. Louis populated with brightly-colored hand-painted sets and Palazzolo’s full-grown SAIC students roped in to play the filmmaker’s childhood friends.
