"Bruno S. is magnificent as Stroszek, a gentle, middle-aged innocent who has spent most of his life in prison. Stroszek drinks, plays an out-of-tune grand piano, and befriends a soulful prostitute and an eccentric old man. Together the three oddly-assorted Berlin misfits follow the American dream to Railroad Flats, Wisconsin -- a god-forsaken truck stop -- where they find a bleak Eldorado of TV football and mobile homesteading." DIRECTOR: Werner Herzog CAST: Eva Mattes, Bruno S., Clemens Scheitz COLOR: Yes COUNTRY: West Germany SUBJECT: Emigration, Outsiders, Prostitution, Wisconsin SUBTITLES: Yes
