Biography
25 APR 1873 - 17 JUL 1938
Wiene is historically cemented as a pioneer of German Expressionism in cinema. His directorial style in Caligari abandoned cinematic realism in favor of conveying subjective, psychological distress through highly stylized mise-en-scène. He directed other expressionist works, though none reached the mythic status of Caligari.
