Stroszek

Stroszek

1977, Movie, 1h 48min

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.
