A tale of faith, suspicion and flying saucers set to Kaspar Hauser

A film that single-handedly invents the techno western genre, The Legend of Kaspar Hauser reimagines the nineteenth century man who seemingly had no past as an androgynous woman washing up on a Mediterranean island, and starting a war between the Sheriff and the Pusher, both played by Vincent Gallo.

Kaspar Hauser, a nineteenth century man who seemingly appeared from nowhere claiming to have had no previous contact with society, is reimagined by director Davide Manuli as an androgynous woman washing up on a Mediterranean island, and starting a war between the Sheriff and the Pusher, both played by Vincent Gallo

A tale of faith, suspicion and flying saucers set to the thudding beats of techno behemoth Vitalic, Kaspar Hauser is the sort of astonishing experience modern cinema rarely manages, a Techno Western in a world of its own.
Screening 9pm, Friday 6th July, Hackney Picturehouse
