A Page of Madness is one of my most-wanted horror flicks. Oddly, I never cared much for Caligari - it was one of those movies I figured was a shoo-in to be a new favorite but which just didn't click for me.

Well then you should have had your DVR set to Turner Classic Movies last night. Although you still might be able to see it on streaming video.

Or hell, you could just go to youtube.

And I enjoyed the hell out of "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari". That kind of weird-for-weird's sake, I enjoy that.

The movie itself was so-so. very odd to me tonally. I don't know how to demonstrate or articulate it or anything, but it almost felt like Fincher disliked his source material.
That's interesting about the soundtrack. I listened to that on the way to work today after reading this. I was kind of surprised that the Social Network music was so well liked because it seemed like something that viewers would mostly be indifferent about. It's very ambient in terms of style. I think Fincher has gotten more cold and clinical with age, and Reznor's music reinforces that. I'd say it's less emotionally manipulative than other soundtracks, but it does create a sense of dread or import (or both) that maybe isn't otherwise deserved. I actually listen to music very similar to this when I go to sleep or work just because it helps me clear my head.

It does surprise me that someone would be annoyed by it.
