Caligari's Cure

About This Movie

Caligari's Cure is a unique piece, really. It weaves together memory and absurdity, kind of like a dream you can't quite shake off. The atmosphere is thick with nostalgia, but it's not your typical 'coming-of-age' story. Instead, it dives into Palazzolo's experiences in this bizarre version of St. Louis, filled with quirky characters and surreal moments that feel both familiar and strange. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it adds to the charm—like wandering through a weird attic filled with forgotten toys. The practical effects have this raw, almost DIY quality that enhances the dreamlike vibe. Performances are heartfelt; you can sense the actor's authenticity. It’s really an exploration of youth that feels both tender and twisted.
