Strong narrative/thematic parallels to The Elephant Man. I found Bruno's performance a bit ridiculous at times and the character's verbal progression uneven (not sure if a time-lapse training montage a la Rocky would help or hurt) but those are minor wrinkles. It still builds enough pathos to knock the wind out of you by the end. The photography deserves a higher quality transfer by now.

Unusual, charming sometimes, but unsatisfying as a film. Worth seeing just for Bruno S's performance, though.

I guess we can call it confirmed that I watch Herzog's films not for his directing, but for Kinski's acting, without which I found this one tedious. Long scenes with theatrical acting, all to convey what in the end is a fairly simple thought.

Visually enthralling, absurdly interesting, but otherwise i don't feel a desire to rewatch it. It felt like Ali: Fear Eats The Soul but detached

A powerful enigma indeed. Here nature literally intrudes upon mankind, interrupting the ideological rhythm and forcing us to interact with total innocence in all of its inconvenience. Herzog does not formulate a grand conclusion here; his view on humanity is varied and complex with much room for further exploration. The film is a question, and I think that in itself is a admirably hopeful gesture from Werner.

Herzog casts Bruno S. as Kaspar, a 40 year old street musician he had seen in a documentary. The casting is sublime. Bruno is no actor, but he inhabits the role of this deep deep stranger incredibly convincingly. His posture, facial expressions and odd mannerisms are those of a complete outsider, yet he's also deeply sympathetic and the viewer can identify with this sublimely alien presence.

Both mysterious and otherworldly tale about a man learning to feel and aprehend things like other people -- but he ultimately has his own way to understand and see things. One of the most impressive physical performances of all time combined with Herzog's confident narrative about human nature, language as both prison and freedom and a satire on society rules over the individual. Very funny yet so painful like most Herzog's 70s films.
