La leggenda di Kaspar Hauser

I totally loved this movie. It is surreal, entertaining and leaves the viewer with a couple things to think about. It is a great reflection of our era. La Leggenda di Kasper Hauser will allow you to find its meaning for yourself. Silvia Calderoni's acting is completely out of this world; it was even scary at some points. She was able to create a character which will completely blow your mind. I assure you that you will be left wishing for Kasper Hauser to be real (Or is he already?) This movie has probably replaced The Tree of Life as my all-time favourite movie. The music in is this film is also great! For every music-enthusiast out there: You will feel very empathetic with the so-called Kasper Hauser. Please watch this movie with something in mind: it is nothing like you have watched before.

I wouldn't recommend this black and white movie to anyone who doesn't like electro music. Moreover, well made energetic soundtrack from DJ Vitalic is in my opinion the strongest part of The Legend of Kaspar Hauser.

There isn't much of a plot to speak but it's not a disadvantage. The movie itself is surreal, often funny, sometimes tedious (as some sequences are a little bit too long).

I found Manuli's vision fresh but it certainly won't reach all of the viewers.

6-7 out of 10

I liked this movie so much! Here, in St.Petersburg, Russia, it was shown on wide screen in cinema on main street of the city and there was 10 people in big hall, but no one left and in the end we all were applauding.

For me base of the structure of this movie is witty bound between XIX century strange story of a young man Kaspar Hauser and nowadays realities, digital music in particular. Director Davide Manuli tried to explain some details of Hauser's biography and his personality if it would happened in our modern times. I'm highly enjoyed the multiple compares and allusions between acid DJ (played by woman, which I realised at once) and prophet/messiah/heir/epileptic etc. Also this funny experience decorated with awesome soundtrack and aesthetic black'n'white cinematography.

I wouldn't recommend it to usual pop-corn watcher, but for Alejandro Jodorowsky's fans or other curious indie cinema watchers it's highly recommended.

I like non-sense movies, maybe something like Terry Gilliam does. I came from viewing Parasite (great movie, grotesque and deep), and after 15 minutes of this horrible trash (that's not non-sense, that's empty-sense), i thought what's wrong with italian director? Why this terrible trash? Take soundtrack (great tracks from Vitalic), take the prologue scene (great... and that's the only only scene!!!) and throw all the rest.

Half decent soundtrack with a couple of beautiful tracks hiding among several less exciting numbers. To be honest though, the music probably benefited from TLOKH being so outrageously boring. Every time a tune kicked in it was a welcome relief.

It took every ounce of diet pepsi and will power to stay awake and present.

There's nothing entertaining or imaginative here in the script and acting to keep you engaged. Scenes are too long and sparse and repetitive dialogue serves to be little more than tiresome and frustrating. This Kasper probably ought to have been put down immediately for everyone's good. The film would have been far more entertaining and surreal had it been 10 minutes long.
