The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser

The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser
Herzog's film is based upon the true and mysterious story of Kaspar Hauser, a young man who suddenly appeared in Nuremberg in 1828, barely able to talk or walk, and bearing a strange note; he later explained that he had been held captive in a dungeon of some sort for his entire life that he could remember, and only recently was he released, for reasons unknown. His benefactor attempts to integrate him into society, with intriguing results.

“…you should learn to tell a story right.”
Hilarious going from Portman’s performance in Vox Lux to this. Bruno is incredible tho
Not a particularly original conceit but unique enough and executed quite well!
Hombrecito sure is a riddle all right
