Stroszek
1977
Synopsis
Bruno Stroszek, a hapless hard-drinking busker in Berlin, falls for Eva, a sex worker who’s in trouble with local thugs. With nothing to lose, they emigrate to Wisconsin with their neighbor Scheitz. But after a customs agent confiscates his cherished pet bird, Beo, Stroszek begins a downward spiral.
Editorial
Reuniting with his Kaspar Hauser star Bruno S., Herzog shot on the fly this warped quest for survival in the land of the free. A fiction shot through with vérité techniques, Stroszek is both darkly comic and soulfully tragic, capped off by an unforgettably maniacal finale.
