Woyzeck (1979) was directed by Werner Herzog and starred Klaus Kinski. It was shot with the entire crew of Nosferatu 5 days after they finished shooting. It consists of many long shots. It took 18 days to shoot and 4 days to edit. Amazing. Kinski seems wiped out but gives every last drop of energy to the film.
This is one of 6 films directed by Herzog and starring Kinski. I've been on a marathon of them. I've now seen Aguire: the wrath of God (76), Fitzcarraldo (82). I've also greatly enjoyed Herzog's The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (74).
It's about a man who is in the military and allows experiments to be done on him for money. He is being pushed around by everyone. He is losing his mind, and losing his wife and kid. Until he goes crazy.
