Details

• Plot: In Werner Herzog's brilliant adaptation of Georg Buchner's Woyzek, Klaus Kinski delivers a wild and stunning performance in a role only he could play. Frank Woyzeck (Kinski) is a hapless, hopeless soldier, alone and powerless in society, assaulted by all sides by forces he cannot control. Abused and tortured, both physically and psychologically by commanding offices, doctors and his unfaithful wife, Marie (Eva Mattes, Best Supporting Actress at Cannes), Woyzeck struggled to hold on to his humanity and his fragile sanity. In the film's shattering climax, he is finally driven over the brink into madness and murder.
