A bizarre movie that you might enjoy

La leggenda di Kaspar Hauser is surreal movie about newcomer to an unspecified island in Italy. It is based on the Kaspar Hauser, a real person who appeared in early 19th century in a small Bavarian city.

The event was thoroughly documented, that is why we know that much about Kaspar as we do. There is also a movie of the similar name by Herzog, that is produced in a more documentarian style.

Ultimately, this movie is about second coming of Christ, with all packed up in a brilliant setup that will make you think.

Kaspar in this movie is actually portrayed by woman, which is not at all obvious at any point in the movie. The Kaspar represents a blend of a man and a woman in one body, an universal being, who incidentally likes to listen to Vitalic music (Rave).

Another great movie in this geist is "The Limits Of Control."
