- The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser
-
- Werner Herzog
- "In 1828, as if out of nowhere, a young man appeared in Nuremberg's town square. He had no history, spoke only a few words, and could not stand upright. Having been locked in a basement for 17 years, Kaspar Hauser was more beast than man.
Who was he and where did he come from?
Despite attempts by townsfolk to understand and civilize him, Kasper became little more than a sideshow attraction. And though the mystery of his origins remained unanswered, perhaps the biggest question of all was, why did someone want him dead?
Based on a true story, Werner Herzog's poignant, often funny, and unforgettable tale of "the enigma of the century"-punctuated by a brilliant performance by Bruno S.-will haunt viewers forever."<br> -

- Alexander Nevsky
-
- Dmitri Vasilyev
- "Alexander Nevsky features some of the most beautiful imagery that you will ever see in a film; a justifiably famous, majestic music score by Prokofiev; and a dazzling, climactic battle on a frozen lake. However, this Sergei Eisenstein epic is perhaps most intriguing as a reflection of its time. While Alexander Nevsky is set in 1242, its scenario could just as easily be unraveling in 1938, the year in which it was completed.
The setting is the part of Russia under constant invasion by Mongolian raiders. The fisherman prince Alexander Nevsky learns of a plot by the Teutonic knights to attack the country. While some of the Russian leaders would rather pacify the invaders, the masses instead choose to mobilize, selecting Nevsky as their commander. The Teutons win a number of victories, and even capture the city of Pskov. In the finale, an extended sequence which dramatically overpowers all that has come before it, Nevsky and his forces take on the Teutons in the Battle of the Ice." -
