One of Werner Herzog's most unrecognized films, Woyzeck is utterly brilliant. Few films succeed at portraying frustration and madness as much as this.
Woyzeck [ˈvɔʏtsɛk] is a 1979 German drama film written, produced and directed by Werner Herzog and starring Klaus Kinski and Eva Mattes. It is an adaptation of the unfinished play Woyzeck by German dramatist Georg Büchner.
Woyzeck isn't demonstrative of Herzog's usual style as a filmmaker; it uses long cuts and scenes seem like acts. He's criticized for this decision, but I find the choice appropriate. It highlights what makes this film great, the performance of Klaus Kinski as the soldier Woyzeck.
Having fathered an illegitimate child with his lover, Marie (Eva Mattes), feckless soldier Franz Woyzeck (Klaus Kinski) takes odd jobs around his small town to provide some extra money for them.
