1h 47m
Directed by Werner Herzog • 1977 • West Germany
Starring Bruno S., Eva Mattes, Clemens Scheitz
Werner Herzog’s tragically absurd tour through 1970s America stars the singular Bruno S. as an ostracized, alcoholic Berlin street musician who, joined by a prostitute (Eva Mattes) and his eccentric elderly neighbor (Clemens Scheitz), leaves Germany behind for the promise of a better life in the States—only to find himself lost in a surreal Wisconsin wasteland. By turns darkly comic and despairing, STROSZEK is a wondrously offbeat ballad of immigrant alienation graced with an unexpected and indelible ending.
