Klaus Kinski in Woyzeck

WOYZECK Review: Part I
 Written by Herzog, Woyzeck is an adaptation of an unfinished 1836 play by Georg Büchner (who died of typhus at twenty-three) that is reputedly based on a real murder of a military man&#8217;s lover. Until the turn of the twentieth century, Büchner and his play were all but forgotten, but the author was rediscovered when Modernism arose in the early part of the last century. Woyzeck was seen as a herald of both Modernism and Absurdism, with its lead character described as a sort of pre-Beckettian creation. Such interpretation is validated right in the first scene following the credits, as the camera, at faster-than-normal speed, shows an officer forcing Woyzeck to do squats [...]]]></description>

Klaus Kinski in Woyzeck
&#160;

By Dan Schneider of Cosmoetica:
One of the signs of a great artist is that even when not at the top of his game he is still capable of flashes of utter brilliance. Such is the case in Werner Herzog&#8217;s  Woyzeck (1979), starring his friend and bane Klaus Kinski in the third of five films made by the director-actor team. 
Woyzeck is not a great film, but here and there it offers great moments. Part of the reason it fails to reach true greatness is that the story&#8217;s stage roots are too [...]]]></description>

Lebenszeichen / Signs of Life (1968)
Direction: Werner Herzog
Screenplay: Werner Herzog; inspired by Achim von Arnim&#8217;s story
Cast: Peter Brogle, Wolfgang Reichmann, Athina Zacharopoulou, Wolfgang von Ungern-Sternberg,  Wolfgang Stumpf, Julio Pinheiro
&#160;

By Dan Schneider of Cosmoetica:
No filmmaker&#8217;s career has been more defined and structured by the musical choices he has made than that of Werner Herzog. This claim is evident from his first full-length feature, Lebenszeichen / Signs of Life (1968), which he made when he was twenty-four &#8212; three years after having written the screenplay. (He claims he got the idea for it when he was fifteen or sixteen, apparently from a story by German author Ludwig Achim von Arnim [1781-1831].) Though made by a newcomer, Signs of Life is an [...]]]></description>
