Review of Woyzeck (1979) by Ollie W — 13 Mar 2011
Even a fairly minor Kinski/Herzog outing is a great one. While I doubt this is what the great German director and his volatile star intended for me to feel, I cannot feel sorry for the poor, unfortunate, bumbling Franz Woyzeck, a soldier on tip-toeing along the edges of madness.
I feel that this is because Woyzeck was produced right after Nosferatu The Vampire...thus explaining the more pathetically comical, burned-out performance. Still, despite lacking the usual level of insanity, Woyzeck is still a fascinating character study, and a must-have for fans of the director.
