“The version of the screenplay you will find here is in fact the only one. It’s the one approved by Claudio Caligari himself and then transformed, with minimum additions and variations dictated by the needs of the set. It’s the same screenplay fleshed out by the performances of the actors and actresses and the magical lighting during shooting. To talk about where and why variations were made? We thought that would lesson readers’ interest in that active completion of information that we always tried trigger with Claudio, in the audiences that we had in mind, our accomplices in the viewing of the film, as alluded to in the screenplay we were then writing, with a nod to his beloved Pasolini. In the same way, we do not add any lines to the stories in Don’t Be Bad and about Claudio Caligari himself, which you will find here, along with the screenplay. You will find here the accounts of those who took part in the making of the film, and of those who, over time and thanks to the film, found they were part of one big family. The same gang – the Caligari Gang. All we can today today is thank all of them for contributing these first-hand accounts to us, sometime in writing, other times in conversations between them and us, which we then transcribed and making cuts in the editing, as to not interrupt the flow. All of this ten years after that 205 when Caligari’s last film set off to see the world, and be seen. Claudio Caligari’s films speak for themselves. You only need to watch them, listen to them. Read them. Trying, in so far as you are able, not to be bad.”
