- Superb film by Werner Herzog. This is a classical, often repeated story, about a good hearted, feeble-minded simpleton, abused by everyone, who decides in despair to take revenge against those that oppress him. It's a cautionary tale never to underestimate anyone.

Mar 18, 2016 · Right up to the murder sequence, Woyzeck is arguably the most ‘classical’ of Herzog’s films, with long takes of two-three minutes filmed in frontal mid-shot, the camera moving with characters or their vantage point, soon returning to relative visual stability.
