Plot:
Very well acted and well paced (although the pacing is helped by the 80 minute length). About 70% of the dialogue in this film is completely insane. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.
Basically Klaus Kinski plays a nice (if somewhat mentally unbalanced) guy who helps out the local scientist by eating nothing but peas and mutton; gets humilated by his drill sargent and has a wife who has the nerve to cheat on him in broad daylight.
That and he likes spouting off philosphical musing that don't make much sense. But, this seems to be the habit of everybody in the town this movie takes place in.
Klaus Kinski does an amazing job acting in this one.
Who could have played this part any more effectively? Kinski nails Woyzeck's "chased" look with astonishing bravado. The film is directed with urgency and atmosphere by Germany's master director Werner Herxog.
An outstanding performance from Kinski, who buried himself so much into the role, that he suffered a nervous breakdown following the filming. The production of this movie was completed in just 18 days immediately following Herzog's other masterpiece, Nosferatu.
A classic play is made into a very good movie by the great Werner Herzog. A basic but fundamentally solid adaptation of the stage play, in which Klaus Kinski delivers a monster of a performance as the title character.
