Bruno der Schwarze, es blies ein Jäger wohl in sein Horn

Summary

In his multi-layered documentary, DFFB Student Lutz Eisholz portrays three outsiders: socially isolated and on the brink of psychopathology. One of them takes center-stage: Bruno S., a Berlin street musician, who was shuttled between many orphanages and mental institutions from an early age until being released as "cured". His strange mannerisms and punchy speech made him the ideal choice for the role of Werner Herzog′s "Kaspar Hauser", produced four years later. Thirty years after this film′s release, another documentary about Bruno S. appeared: "Bruno S. – Die Fremde ist der Tod" ("Estrangement is Death").
