La légende de Kaspar Hauser

The idea behind the movie is interesting, an innocent man unable even to speak is founded on a shore of a mysterious island and then educated to life, but the result is terribly boring and without any ideas both visually and in meaning. the visual setting of the film is clearly derivative of Ciprì and Maresco, particularly Paviglianiti, but the vulgar here is only hinted at by the figure of the dwarf and the donkey driver, and remains very little to counteract the characters that should be elevated as the Sheriff and the Countess with the rest. Terrible even from the technical point of view, with dialogues sometimes incomprehensible due to the bad sound. I save only the music.

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.

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.

Very avant guard film unlike any other. Vincent Gallo's performances are unreal good. Beyond any other actor I have ever seen. He plays two roles in this film. Each role as far from the other as possible. One of his characters is an old friendly likable washed up southern American sheriff with beautiful blonde hair. His other character a Sicilian metaphysical gangster who seems like the coolest guy in the world. In that role he speaks perfect dialect Italian with a southern Italian accent I have never seen one actor in one movie add so much to a film. Music is incredible and also the photography. The Kaspar Houser actress also very good. See this film for Vincent Gallo alone. He is wild, original, very cool and very very entertaining. BRAVO.

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.
