The TVI Take
Werner Herzog's 1977 film about a former Berlin street musician (Bruno S.) emigrating to Wisconsin with a prostitute and his elderly neighbor. The structural commitment to letting non-actor protagonist Bruno S.
carry the film, and to documentary-grade observation of small-town American Midwest life, is the most-Herzog work in the catalog. The film's final-act chicken-dance sequence is the canonical Herzog absurdist conclusion.
