A strange and slow-moving Herzog film that is almost ethereal in its examination of an odd young man. The uniqueness of its hero makes this far from a traditional detective story. I wish that Herzog had paced the film more succinctly, but the fully-realized character of Kaspar keeps the audience relatively engaged.

Kaspar is a man that for some time was prisioner, and is released to the world as almost an animal, not knowing eat, barely speak... or interact socially. Very similiar to Elephant man, this movie is a fantastic story about alieanation and anti-racism. Amazing performances.
