A wonderful and unusual film about an unusual figure from Germany's history. Bruno S. is fantastic as Kaspar.

Another excellent Herzog movie. Bruno S. is quite a find, I couldn't imagine anyone else doing this. What an odd and amazing story. It's very haunting and beautiful, and has a Zen quality to it. Also the application of the much-abused Pachebel's Canon is one of the best I know of.

Hauser's innocence is quite touching, something that is obviously connected to Bruno's real life. Of course all of the good things that are usually in Herzog's films are here, but it's the charming honesty from Kaspar Hauser that creates emotional impact. The ending is also among Herzog's best, really powerful.

An important, unusual, utterly exquisit and painstakingly tight documentary about a local man disappearing from his hometown all of a sudden. One of Herzog's gems, and while it hasn't survived well after ages, It still recovers and it's worthwhile.

The story of Kaspar Hauser is absolutely incredible, and when Herzog directs the story his own way, you end up watching a masterpiece. Bruno S. is absolutely amazing as Hauser, considering a 42 year old is playing a 16 year old. The entire film is brimming with emotion. The character of Kaspar Hauser is so well done, that it felt like he was alongside me. I guarantee, from start to finish, you will not be disappointed.
