Review of Stroszek (1977) by Michelle S — 07 Feb 2016

What an intriguing film. I Werner Herzog likes to keep it real wherever possible and I wouldn't be surprised if Stroszek is a real person. His character name seems to be the same as his real name and, judging from the number of times he glanced into the camera, he's not the best actor in the world but he is a unique, scruffy, bizarre geezer with problems.

He also comes across as a fairly decent bloke. The story is about escaping Berlin and his personal obstructions to America with a prostitute who he is helping to escape her situation too. I won't spoil the story but gotta say that it's well worth the watch as it is different.
