Watch Every Man for Himself and God Against All

Every Man for Himself and God Against All, also known as "The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser," is a 1974 German film directed by Werner Herzog. It tells the story of Kaspar Hauser, a mysterious and enigmatic young man who suddenly appears in a small Nuremberg village in 1828. Kaspar (played by Bruno S.) is initially locked in a cramped cellar without any societal interaction or education. Eventually, Kaspar is released into the town while being provided the most basic of education to function in society. People are intrigued by him and, at times, entertained by his mannerisms and naivety. With no memory of his past, Kaspar struggles to understand his place in the world, and his innate human curiosity drives him to discover more about himself, his past, and the world around him.

Kaspar's arrival in the village brings about a series of events that highlight the class differences and corruption of those in power. While Kaspar has a reputation of being both blessed and tormented by divine intervention, he is also taken advantage of by those who see him as nothing more than an object of curiosity.

As Kaspar begins to discover more about his past, he begins to unravel the mystery of who he is and where he came from. However, the more he learns, the more he becomes a target for those who seek to silence him and keep him from revealing their dark secrets.

The film is shot in a stark, gritty style that emphasizes the harsh realities of life in 19th century Germany. The performances by the actors are similarly raw, with Bruno S. delivering a haunting and unforgettable portrayal of Kaspar Hauser.

"Every Man for Himself and God Against All" is a deeply philosophical film that explores themes of identity, power, and corruption. While it is based on true events, Herzog takes artistic liberties with the story to create a haunting and thought-provoking exploration of the human condition.

Every Man for Himself and God Against All is a 1974 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 49 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.7.
