She had herscreen debut in Fritz Lang's exotic costume drama Harakiri (1919), in which she first practised her unfocused offscreenlook. An abstract element in Lang's mise-en-scene, but alsocapable of connoting emotional turmoil and nameless dread,this look was Dagover's most memorable acting contributionto her best-known part as Jane in Robert Wiene's Das Cabinet des Dr Caligari/The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1920),adding greatly to the film's ambiguous tone, somewhere between horror and fascinated desire.

Lil Dagover, 1940

Dagover's skill with ocular excess gave depth to the mostlymelodramatic roles she played in other Lang films, such as Dermiide Tod/Destiny (1921) and Dr Mabuse, der Spieler/Dr Mabuse, the Gambler (1922), and F. W. Murnau's Phantom (1922), making her an actress at once typically 'expressionist'and at the threshold of the transition from Henny Porten tothe femmes fatales of Weimar cinema, such as LouiseBrooks and Marlene Dietrich. In the 1970s, on talk showsand in interviews, she credibly represented Weimar cinema,giving its blessing to the neo-romantics of the New GermanCinema. Other Films Include: Die Spinnen (1919); Tartuff (1926); Orient Express (1927); Der Kongress tanzt (1931); Schlufiakkord (1936); Buddenbrooks (1959); Der Richter undsein Henker/End of the Game (1976). art/movie store cabinet of dr. caligari posters: repro. worldwide film release posters at affordable prices!
