[1] In this modern western-like re-interpretation featuring Vincent Gallo, a music-obsessive Kaspar washes up on a Mediterranean beach, where half a dozen protagonists try to make sense of who he is.
Kaspar, a mysterious youth who surfaced in Nuremberg in 1828 with limited speech abilities, remains an enigma with unexplained royal ties.
In this surreal rendition by director Davide Manuli, Kaspar, clad in tracksuit and headphones, washes ashore on a nearly deserted island.
The narrative unfolds through concise chapters, each presented as a single, extended shot, featuring minimal yet surreal dialogues that illuminate Hauser's tale.
Set against the stark backdrop of deserted beaches and villages, the film is rendered in black-and-white, underscored by the pulsating rhythms of Vitalic.
