31/2* Based on true 18th century story of 20 year old man found chained in basement. Incapable of language & researchers trying to study him

The crudely edited in cuts of Kaspar shedding tears will stay with me forever ;) other than that, its a quite forgettable film

Very tender, you may think just for being an oldie it could be slow and boring. It's just very beautiful and engaging.

Not the best acting, but it does make you think about what does it mean to be a human, or at least the way we work.
