This is a bleak and sobering watch. At the end it turns somewhat surreal and I suppose it has an arty element to it. Its quite hard to describe in any detail but I certainly wouldn't recommend it if your looking for something to cheer yourself up because this is quite, as I say, a grim watch. I think the central performance by Bruno S. was quite good. He plays a quite detached individual well. There is some poignant dialogue and if the director is one you enjoy I'd recommend it.

Looney auteur folk tunes, alluring in fits of half emotive weirdness. Take it or leave it. Warning: Best moments come at the end stretch, in case if you feel like quitting.

So bizarre yet so mundane. Herzog's ultimate tragicomedy finds the weirdest loser possible into the realms of the American (lost) dream as he loses everything he's got -- girl, who's always been a prostitute, and his mobile home. Couldn't care less about the plot. But the amount of crazy material is just out of this world: the auctioner talking fast, the barbershop robbery, the shop of animals doing crazy stuff (like chicken dancing or playing the piano).

Stroszek is a near perfect vehicle for Bruno S's idioscyncratic charm. He plays an alcoholic ex-con who moves to the US with friends in search of a better life but finds nothing but poverty and ruin. It's often interpreted as a rather blunt critique of the American dream, but Herzog's concerns are more universal: he understands that some people are just doomed to fail in life, regardless of where they are situated. Highlights include Bruno's musical performance in an alley and a dancing chicken.

My fav of the 5 or so Herzog's I've seen. Definitely has a knack for dropping outsiders in a situation where they're doomed for failure. Definite influence here to be seen in Korine and I'd even say the Coen bros work. The ending is cool.

A ballad indeed. Ever since the Herzog-frenzy of my late teens I've been saving this one like my existence somehow depended on there still being a film by Him to discover. Don't know why I finally did it but I'm now going to need x amount of time to rethink my life before reviewing this. Otherwise I'll just end up reviewing my forever girlish infatuation with Herzog's cinema.
