The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (1974)

The enigma of Werner Herzog?

Summary:

Hello? Am I crazy not getting this film? I really donโ€™t get Herzogโ€™s style, perhaps they will speak to Germans or Europeans but for me I find the presentation unbelievably dull. Or maybe itโ€™s just German filmmaking in general. I also donโ€™t understand how people find the cinematography in this film impressive when films like Barry Lyndon and Lawrence of Arabia exist. There are definitely beautiful German countrysides but I wasnโ€™t impressed especially considering the story and dialogue were borderline unwatchable to me. Definitely slow cinema for the experienced cinephile.
