Stroszek by Werner Herzog 1977


I saw this movie years ago - it is a bizarre little film.  Apparently Herzog needed a schizophrenic actor to play the role of Caspar Hauser in a film he wanted to make about that poor person (Hauser had been raised in a dark basement in a German town until he was discovered as a teenager).

Herzog found Bruno S. in a mental institution to play the role of Hauser (the film was called: Every man for himself and God against all) and really liked working with Bruno S. So he made this film specifically for Bruno S.
