Synopsis
“One of Herzog's most accessible films,
Stroszek is a lyrical, melancholy, bitterly funny tale of three oddly-assorted Berlin misfits who follow the American Dream to Wisconsin and find a bleak El Dorado of television, football, CB radio, truck stops, and mobile homesteading. The title role is played by Herzog's unique actor
Bruno S., with
Eva Mattes as a soulful whore, and Clemens Scheitz as an eccentric old man conducting a homemade search for the secrets of animal magnetism.” – Harvard Film Archive
