WOYZECK (1979)

Woyzeck took 18 days to film and four days to edit, but Herzog claims that this was perfect.  The film presents different interesting philosophical and pseudo-scientific notions through the main character Woyzeck (Klaus Kinski) and his 18th century town.  Kinski portrays Woyzeck with an outstanding performance, but the whole cinematic experience seems mechanically absurd and awkward.  However, after viewing many other Herzog films, he remains one of the leading directors in German cinema.
