Plot

Based on a true story, a man who has spent his life locked in a cell is released into nineteenth-century German society.

Sinekatalog’s take

Werner Herzog's drama of a man raised in isolation entering society is haunting and tender. Bruno S. is extraordinary, and the film's fable-like pace and strange images make it a poetic masterpiece.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
