Stroszek


Stroszek is a 1977 film by German director Werner Herzog. Written specifically for Bruno S., the film was shot in Berlin, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. Most of the lead roles are played by nonactors.

After sightseeing in New York City they buy a used car and arrive in a winterbound, barren prairie near the fictional town of Railroad Flats. There Bruno works as a mechanic with Clayton and his Native American helper, Eva as a waitress at a truck stop and Scheitz pursues his interest in animal magnetism. The pair buy a trailer which is sited on Claytons land, but as bills mount, the bank threatens to repossess it. Eva falls back into prostitution to supplement her wages, but it is not enough to meet the payments. She tires of Brunos drunken ramblings and deserts him by leaving with a couple of truck drivers bound for Vancouver.A man from the bank Scott McKain visits Bruno, who is now drinking steadily, and has him sign off on the repossession. The home is auctioned, and he and Scheitz, who is convinced that the world is conspiring against him, set off to confront the conspiracy. Finding the bank closed, they hold up a barber shop beneath it, make off withdollars and then go shopping in a small store across the street. The police arrive and arrest Scheitz for armed robbery without noticing Bruno. ........
