I tried watching The Cabinet once. Maybe I should try again, but, as far as I remember, the quality of the video was so bad that I don't think I had even a chance of appreciating the movie as a work art (at least not in the way I usually watch movies); and I think it was my impression at the time that no copy with better quality existed anymore?
Was it easily watchable for others here who watched it, or was it necessary to approach it studiously, e.g., rewinding every so often and slowing down the playback, to be able to appreciate it at all?
- dfxm12 6y agoI saw a color version of it. The quality was as good as you could expect of something filmed in 1920. I think it's pretty straight forward - no need to slow it down or rewind it. One thing to be on the look out for is to see if there are any showings of it with a live musician providing the score. Maybe by Halloween, it will be possible to see it, or even Nosferatu for that matter, like that.
