Review of  Una Poltrona Per Due Una Poltrona Per Due
Herzog takes inspiration from this true story to describe a training journey which, however, is destined to fail. Kaspar, in fact, an adult but with childish attitudes, is refractory to any attempt to educate him. The two sequences with the priests (spirituality) and with the mathematics professor (rationality) are exemplary. The young man, in fact, fundamentally good and naive and although willing to learn notions which in his thinking take on no meaning, remains "unintegratable ” given its “uncontaminated” nature (he considers fruit as sentient and not as an inanimate element). Kasper looks at the world for the first time trying to understand it, a world that observes him in turn and for which, unfortunately, he remains a foreign, a disturbing element that upsets the prevailing status quo and for this reason must be eliminated.

plot

The film follows Kaspar Hauser (Bruno S.), who lived the first seventeen years of his life chained in a tiny cellar with only a toy horse to occupy his time, devoid of all human contact except for a man who wears a black overcoat and top hat who feeds him.
