We have a 10-80 out here, a truck on fire, we have a man on the lift. We are unable to find the switch to turn the lift off, can't stop the dancing chickens. Send an electrician, we're standing by.

An Hungarian immigrant, a prostitute and an old man flees the country seeking better lives in Wiscounsin only to find hardship and struggle. A view from the unprivileged's side of life.
Its almost two weeks since I saw 'Strozeck' and its situations and absurdity (absurd because it depicts things that are for real) has not left me for one single day. Based on Herzogs own experiences it really has something real going for it. Its funny and its sad.
All characters are well cast, the trio all get our sympathies. Bruno S. is especially hard to be indifferent about. He is weak, but endures most of what he must go through.
