Synopsis
Bruno Stroszek is released from prison and warned to stop drinking. He has few skills and fewer expectations: with a glockenspiel and an accordion, he ekes out a living as a street musician. He befriends Eva, a prostitute down on her luck and they join his neighbor, Scheitz, an elderly eccentric, when he leaves Germany to live in Wisconsin.

Films Stroszek Inspired
As a director, he [Werner Herzog] is someone who has truly inspired me. He’s always taking risks, pushing boundaries, and has this wonderful way of capturing moments in such a unique way. Stroszek has certainly informed my way of making films, and how I often work with non-actors and integrate improvisational elements into my shoots.
