RobertWiene's name will ever be associated with Das Kabinett des Dr. Caligari (The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari), his most famous film, although there are critics who would minimize his responsibility for this masterpiece of the cinema.
Wiene died in Paris in 1938 while directing Erich von Stroheim and Dita Parlo in Ultimatum, which was completed by Robert Siodmak.
Wiene lived in a great period of cinema, which he served in his fashion.
Wiene was born in Sasku, Saxony, a region of eastern Germany.
Wiene's subsequent works include Genuine, a fantasy concerning an oriental princess sold in a slave market who is intent on revenging herself; Raskolnikow (Raskolnikov), an adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment; and INRI (Crown of Thorns), the story of Christ set within a framing story of political assassination.
Wiene's direction of the two principal actors—Werner Krauss as Dr. Caligari and Conrad Veidt as Cesare—is said to complement the bizarre sets and reinforce the film's aura of dread and terror.
