Such a cruel and beautiful film. Will always be my favorite Herzog.

"Why is everything so hard for me? Why can't I play the piano like I can breathe?" Kaspar is, in fact, an enigma. We are told the beginning, middle and end, but made to watch all the same. Instead of an exercise in why, things shift to the inexplicable -as though told by the protagonist. What a narrow color bandwidth -all blue. Absurdity is ripe in every scene. Well composed and content in its wonder. Very Van Gogh.

Self-important. Further, it promotes lyricism as an alternative to rationalism. Sure, it doesn't make a lick of sense that someone could live in an unmoving position for seventeen, but if it's all set to Mozart and noble savage sensibilities then...forget it?

Classic Herzog. Schleinstein's performance was brilliant!

Winner of three awards at the 1975 Cannes Film Festival, Herzog's fable about the nature of civilized man is an interesting companion piece to Truffaut's The Wild Child and features a mesmeric performance by Bruno S. as the mysterious Kaspar Hauser who is abandoned in Nuremberg's town square after spending most of his life chained up in a basement. Nice to see Fassbinder regular Brigitte Mira in a supporting role....

With this and LAND OF SILENCE AND DARKNESS, herzog has given me a superb one-two emotional punch right in the heart. I, hereby, K.O'ed.

I love this film and yes, I do have 481 reasons to love Herzog's films. 5 stars out of 5 for this visually beautiful enigma.

Wonderful film, maybe Herzogs best with Fitzcarraldo and Aguirre

****1/2 . Werner Herzog, in a few scenes, manages to recreate the romantic Germany of Goethe, Eichendorff or the brothers Grimm. This is what we may call visionary cinema. The performance of Bruno S. is also incredible. Almost a masterpiece.
