Stroszek is a film written by Werner Herzog in 1977. It was written in four days and it is based on the life of Bruno S. Bruno S. is a son of a prostitute who spent most of his life in mental institutions. He was a musician and a drunk. The film is about how he moved to the United States to improve his life, but realized that moving there just made his life worse.
Stroszek is a very depressing, weird film. Ian Curtis, lead singer of a 70's band called Joy Division killed himself after watching this film. Around 90% of the film is spoken in German. I thought it was a great film that shows the up's and down's of a man who suffers from many problems.
