Equal parts tragic and hilarious, Werner Herzog’s portrait of a German
busker searching for the American dream stands as one of his most profound
works. Hailed by Robert Ebert as “One of the oddest films ever made”, Stroszek stars the enigmatic
actor/musician Bruno S. as an alcoholic ex-con who dreams of leaving
behind the bleak slums of Berlin. He befriends a like-minded prostitute Eva and
they join Bruno’s elderly, eccentric neighbor Scheitz when he leaves Germany to
live in Wisconsin. But upon their arrival they find that they’re just as
trapped in Dairy Country as they’d been in Germany. (Germany, 1977, 107
mins, German | Dir. Werner Herzog)
