Rating: Summary: Brilliant movie!!!! Review: Very good movie, every time I have seen it, it made me think for weeks - highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: Excellent and Moving Film Review: Werner Herzog makes great and fascinating movies - there's no doubt about it. His films are just "neat" (for lack of a better word). I love Herzong's films, and the "Enigma of Kaspar Hauser" is one of his best. This movie represents well, the Romantic era in general. It's very well done, historically. I don't know much about the true story behind Kaspar Hauser's life: who he was, where he came from, etc., but this movie held my interest deeply. It was a perplexing and stimulating story that truly made me think about a lot of things. Bruno S. always wanted his identity to be kept somewhat secret, so that is why we call him "Bruno S.". You gotta' respect that kind of "anti-Hollywood" mentality - that's so antifamous and noble. The lead character is brilliant in this film and Bruno S. should have received an Oscar. This is a true and genuine performance; so real. This is one of those roles that no one else could have ever played. It was made for Bruno and he for it. Bruno S. is Kaspar Hauser and Kaspar Hauser is Bruno S.! This movie is wonderful - I loved every minute of it. Werner Herzong is a genius and Bruno S. is a natural!This DVD comes with a nice picture (slightly grainy) and with a commentary soundtrack by a film critic interviewing director Werner Herzog himself.
