The Cabinet of Dr. Ramirez is a 1991 modern silent film directed by Peter Sellars and starring Mikhail Baryshnikov, Joan Cusack and Peter Gallagher. It is a loose remake of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.[1] However, the storyline was created as the film was being made, so it has few similarities with the original film.[2][3] The film was screened only at the 1992 Sundance Film Festival and never theatrically released.[2] David Lynch served as an executive producer.
