500 _aBased on the play of the same name by Georg Büchner.
520 _aFrom case cover: In Werner Herzog's brilliant adaptation of Georg Büchner's Woyzeck, Klaus Kinski delivers a wild and stunning performance in a role only he could play. Franz Woyzeck (Kinski) is a hapless, hopeless soldier, alone and powerless in society, assaulted from all sides by forces he cannot control. Abused and tortured, both physically and psychologically by commanding officers, doctors and his unfaithful wife, Marie (Eva Mattes, Best Supporting Actress at Cannes), Woyzeck struggles to hold on to his humanity and his fragile sanity. In the film's shattering climax, he is finally driven over the brink into madness and murder. From IMDB: Everything in town appears calm but Woyzeck, a rifleman assigned as an orderly, hears voices.To his captain, Woyzeck is a comedic marvel: ignorant but courageous, full of energy and little purpose. To a local doctor Woyzeck is a curiosity, the object of cruel study. Woyzeck, 40, has a young wife, Marie, and a small child. He dotes on them but Marie, even though she has periods of guilt and remorse, carries on affairs and flirtations. When the captain lets drop broad hints of Woyzeck's being a cuckold, his inner demons and voices take over. What sort of actions will madness bring?
