Stroszek (1977)
Written and directed
by Werner Herzog this film stars Burno S, Eva Mattes and Clemens
Scheitz. A musician just out of prison, a prostitutes and an old man
leave Germany to live with the old man's nephew in Wisconsin.
This film is a
depressing look at the realities of the American dream where things
are different but everything turns out the same for our down on their
luck protagonists. Despite the bright lights and promises of riches
the characters quickly fall into their old habits which gives the
film a more than depressing outlook. I enjoyed this film even if I'm
still not a fan of Bruno S, his performance here is at least better
than in The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (1974).
4/5
