===Cinema=== {{Main|German Expressionism (cinema)}} There was an Expressionist style in German cinema, important examples of which are [[Robert Wiene]]'s ''[[The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920 film)|The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari]]'' (1920), [[Paul Wegener]]'s ''[[The Golem: How He Came into the World]]'' (1920), [[Fritz Lang]]'s ''[[Metropolis (1927 film)|Metropolis]]'' (1927) and [[F. W. Murnau]]'s ''[[Nosferatu|Nosferatu, a Symphony of Horror]]'' (1922) and ''[[The Last Laugh (1924 film)|The Last Laugh]]'' (1924). The term "expressionist" is also sometimes used to refer to stylistic devices thought to resemble those of German Expressionism, such as [[film noir]] cinematography or the style of several of the films of [[Ingmar Bergman]]. More generally, the term expressionism can be used to describe cinematic styles of great artifice, such as the technicolor melodramas of [[Douglas Sirk]] or the sound and visual design of [[David Lynch]]'s films.<ref name="PramaggioreWallis2005">{{cite book|author1=Maria Pramaggiore|author2=Tom Wallis|title=Film: A Critical Introduction|url=https://archive.org/details/filmcriticalintr0000pram|url-access=registration|access-date=29 May 2018|year=2005|publisher=Laurence King Publishing|isbn=978-1-85669-442-1|pages=[https://archive.org/details/filmcriticalintr0000pram/page/88 88]β90}}</ref>
