What is Stroszek about?
Bruno Stroszek is released from prison and warned to stop drinking. He has few skills and fewer expectations: with a glockenspiel and an accordion, he ekes out a living as a street musician. He befriends Eva, a prostitute down on her luck and they join his neighbor, Scheitz, an elderly eccentric, when he leaves Germany to live in Wisconsin.
Stroszek is a 1977 West German tragicomedy film written, produced and directed by Werner Herzog and starring Bruno S., Eva Mattes, and Clemens Scheitz. The film is about an alcoholic street performer who moves from West Berlin to the American Midwest. Written specifically for Bruno S., the film was shot in Wisconsin and North Carolina. Most of the lead roles are played by inexperienced actors.
