The Ballade of Bruno
the Ballade of Bruno (French-speaking title) or Stroszek (American title) is a German Film carried out by Werner Herzog and left to the cinema in 1977, initially to the USA, then to Germany.
According to various testimonys, Ian Curtis, singer of the group Joy Division, looked at this film its suicide day before.
Stroszek is the mélo-dramatic, tragi-comic history of a poor fellow left to remake his life in Wisconsin, with a former friend and a prostitute, to leave lasts it cruel life which it leads to Berlin. Marginal at the beginning (it is a released alcoholic of a prison-hospital), he will live a succession of failures which will show, by the fable, the nonsense of the “American dream”. From its realism (the main character is not professional actor) and by its satirical cynicism, this film scrambles the limits between fiction and documentary.
Duration of film: 115 minutes.
