NOTES |
The story of
Kaspar Hauser. Study of Mowgli-Tarzan myth. |
|
Compare with
Truffaut's 'A Wild Child'. |
|
A film so
extraordinary and intriguing about a true happening |
|
that you'll
never forget it. Herzog is a totally original director |
|
and Bruno S.
who plays Kaspar Hauser brings truth to that |
|
cinema
cliché: the actor is the character. |
|
Kaspar
Hauser was imprisoned from birth and emerged |
|
mysteriously
as a man in the town square of Nuremberg in |
|
the 1820s.
He is then educated by the townsfolk and the film |
|
is mainly
about the changes to this totally unsocialised man. |
|
His
simplicity opposed to their rationality. |
|
A parable,
didactic, but immensely interesting. |
