Bruno Stroszek
Cuando Bruno Stroszek sale de prisión, le advierten que debe dejar de beber. Con pocas habilidades y menos expectativas, sobrevive como músico callejero. Precisamente en la calle conoce a Eva, una prostituta, con la que entabla amistad. Después de ser golpeados por el chulo de ella, deciden unirse a Scheitz, un excéntrico vecino de Bruno, que ha decidido emigrar a Wisconsin, en los Estados Unidos.
Kaspar Hauser
Alemania, principios del siglo XIX. Kaspar es un enigmático muchacho que ha pasado toda la vida encerrado y aislado en una cueva: no conoce, pues, el lenguaje ni tiene capacidad para relacionarse con los demás. Cuando, en 1828, alguien lo abandona en Nuremberg con una carta para las autoridades locales, se convierte primero en una especie de atracción de feria y después en una curiosidad científica y social.
Lutz Eisholz’s first feature film was produced at West Berlin’s German Film and TV Academy. In an experimental documentary he portrays the working class outcast Bruno S., who prowls the city as a street musician, performing his own songs. The film unfolds Bruno’s story: abandoned by his mother as a child, he was maltreated in correctional institutions in Nazi Germany. On release after WWII he found work but started performing at the same time as a self-taught musician and poet. Although incapable of “normal” human bonding, he was still able to rejoice in life. When Werner Herzog saw this film he recognized Bruno’s potential and hired him to play starring roles in The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (1974), Heart of Glass (1976) and Stroszek (1977).
