The Enigma Of Kaspar Hauser
About a young man who in the 1820's suddenly appeared in a small German town, full-grown but seemingly a new born child, unable to speak and stand. Bruno S' performance is overpowering and the film, which follows the education of Kaspar, is a potent statement about the nature of civilisation.
