Juonikuvaukset(1)
Bruno Stroszek is released from prison and ekes out a living as a street musician. He befriends Eva, a prostitute down on her luck. After they are harried and beaten by Eva's pimps, they join Bruno's neighbor, Scheitz, an elderly eccentric, when he leaves Germany to live in Wisconsin in search of the American dream.

Arvostelut (2)
Three lost souls from West Germany set out to America hoping for a better life, being clueless about the impossibility to break free from the vicious circle of bitterness. The film is infused with a strong atmosphere of human alienation, underlined by Bruno S.’s presence in the title role (in spite of being a non-actor, his naturalness speaks for itself). In the second half of the movie, depression reaches bizarre extremes with every passing minute. We may think, at first sight, that Stroszek is a relatively conventional drama, but its crazy conclusion proves us wrong. The chicken will keep dancing in my head for a very long time after the viewing!

This film definitely manages to make an impression, but for me, it was still a bit too inaccessible in terms of what it was supposed to convey. It communicates the idea of the "American dream" and its true nature, but I simply couldn't identify with those characters in any way and I kept my distance from them. It might be intentional to emphasize the concept, but it just didn't resonate with me.
