		We join Kaspar two years later, he can now speak with relative fluency and is able to articulate his ideas and emotions, yet he has difficulty reconciling his experiences and thoughts with the laws and doctrines of his educators.
		Kaspar's unique perspective of the world around him is touching, his naivety and inherent vulnerability make for some memorable and intellectually provocative scenes.
		For example, whilst in a lesson, designed to educate Kaspar of the biological process of renewal Kaspar is shown the difference between the small green apples on the tree and the large red apples from last year's harvest.

		"The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser" is the true account of one early 19th century foundling, Kaspar Hauser, who was locked and shackled in a dungeon from birth, only to be freed and exposed to society after 17 years in isolation (save for the lone keeper who fed and abused him).

	The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser - Synopsis - Moviefone
		German director Werner Herzog's internationally acclaimed "breakthrough" film is based on the famous story of mysterious 19th-century child genius Kasper Hauser.
		As played by Bruno S.., Hauser shows up unnannounced in the middle of a village square, frightening the populace with his bizarre behavior.
		He cannot talk, nor is there any indication of his parentage, thus Kaspar is immediately the object of close scrutiny from the authorities.

		Some of the town's people show compassion to Hauser, teaching him the mannerisms of civilisation (in an often comic way), while others spy on his every move - not trusting his story and using their powers of logic and rationality to try and uncover Hauser's past by studying his every move.
		The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser is equally a work of masterful under statement by the main actor, making it thoroughly deserving of it's Cannes award.

	Werner Herzog
		There is an ominous, impressionistic cadence to Werner Herzog's The Mystery of Kaspar Hauser: an obscured man in a rowboat, a woman rubbing clothes against a washboard, the sound of warbled music from a warped phonograph record.
		A brief, incidental foreword chronicles Kaspar Hauser's mysterious appearance in a Nuremberg town square one Sunday morning in 1828: a young man who has spent his entire life locked in a cellar, devoid of any social or educational skills, cast onto the street.
		Herzog approaches Kaspar Hauser's story as a portrait of alienation and the inevitable tragedy of forced conformity, trivializing the political and conspiratorial specter that has often overshadowed the enigmatic young man's legacy.

		Kaspar will later dream of a landscape in Burma (8mm footage shot by Herzog's brother as a child), incapable of distinguishing it from reality, and the connection between what is real and what is mirage--between what is possible in words and what is possible through images--establishes itself as another portion of the Herzog puzzle.
		The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser is perhaps best approached as a response to the outcry and controversy that already surrounded Herzog's pictures at this early point in his career.
		The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser is a strange, brave performance housed in an anti-linear film stuffed with obscure images and silent passages of profound, frightening insight.

		In 1828, Kaspar was found in the town square of Nuremberg, Germany, hardly able to speak or walk, having been kept in solitary confinement by unknown forces for his entire life.
		As Kaspar is taken in by the locals, his integration into society and the curiosity posed by his mysterious and possibly dangerous origins start to pull at the carefully kept seams of civilization.
		In Kaspar, Herzog creates an idealized and unspoiled perspective through which to see both the ridiculous and the sublime aspects of humanity and nature as well as the interaction between the two that results in civilization.

	Enigma of Kaspar Hauser
		I am not always certain as to who the characters are, but the focus is on Hauser and his journey from a dirty, brutalized youth chained to a stake to a man trying to understand the world around him and fit in in some way is never less than moving.
		The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser is based on the true story of a young man who suddenly appeared in the Nuremberg town square in the 16th century, virtually unable to communicate, barely able to walk.
		The continuity of the film is not quite clear to me. At times it appears that Kaspar is in some sort of prison, at other times he seems to be staying with a family, but there's confusion about time period.

		Not only is The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser Werner Herzog's best film but it is without question one of the 5 greatest films of all time.
		Many of the shots are the same: foggy landscapes shot through multiple lenses to disassociate the viewer from them, images of isolation on the water, and, of course, the controlled manner of speech which Bruno S. adopts for the film.

	The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser Review
		Kaspar Hauser is based on a true story of a boy who appeared in a town in the 1800’s out of nowhere.
		One of the strongest lines in the movie occurs when Kaspar admits he was happier before he was “saved” by the township.
		Bruno S as Kaspar is more than convincing as a boy who can’t speak nor walk.

		Because of his sheer lack of perspective, Kaspar is in a unique position to truly reject science, religion, philosophy, and logic.
		As the parade of so-called experts attempts to assess Kaspar and pigeonhole his state into something classifiable, the very notion that any of our accumulated knowledge means anything begins to crack.
		The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser achieves timelessness through its satire and its sensibilities seem less stodgy than in most period films.

	Reviews for The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser on MSN Movies
		Based on a true story similar to the case in François Truffaut's The Wild Child (1970), Herzog's rendering of isolated, pre-verbal foundling Kaspar Hauser's release into the world as an adult reveals the perverse effects of "rational" thought and culture on natural, soulful innocence.
		Along with Herzog's odd angles and compositions, former mental patient Bruno S. 's ethereal, evocatively affectless performance as Kaspar makes him both endearing and strange, emphasizing his impossible place in 19th century society.
		Enhancing Herzog's burgeoning reputation as an intense iconoclast after Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972), The Mystery of Kaspar Hauser won the Grand Jury Prize at the 1975 Cannes Film Festival and became an international success.

	Enigma Of Kaspar Hauser - Bruno S, Walter Ladengast, Brigitte Mira
		Written, produced and directed by Werner Herzog (AGUIRRE, THE WRATH OF GOD) this is the story about a full grown man, Kaspar, found in the town square of Nuremberg, Germany in 1828 barely able to walk or talk and became a figure of fame and controversy among doctors, scientists and educationalists of the day.
		Rather than dwell on Kaspar's origins and strange fate, Herzog chooses instead to compare Kaspar - an innocent at the mercy of a society too sure of itself - with the most liberal but blinkered rationalists who determine to shape his new life.
		Bruno S plays Kaspar to perfection, while Herzog brings rare lyricism to his account of purity imperilled by contact with civilisation.
