To his captain, Woyzeck is a comic marvel: ignorant but courageous, full of energy to little purpose. To a local doctor, Woyzeck is a curiosity, the object of cruel study.

Full Plot Details

Everything in town appears calm, placid, lovely. But Woyzeck, a rifleman assigned as an orderly, hears voices -- the times are out of joint, at least in his cosmos. To his captain, Woyzeck is a comic marvel: ignorant but courageous, full of energy to 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 the voices of the spheres take over. Will madness bring action? Of what sort?

Movie Reviews

New York Times - 8/10 by Vincent CanbyWoyzeck is, if possible, ever more mysterious by the time we reach the end than it is at the beginning.
FilmFestivals.com - 6/10 by Moira SullivanKlaus Kinski is exceptional and Herzog's narrative captivating.
User Review - 10/10 by Daniel BI'm not a lightweight but some of the scenes i found difficult to watch in a good way. Kinski is Woyzeck like his life depends on it & Eva Mattes is as usual better than good.
User Review - 10/10 by Ptolemy HKinski and Herzog at their best, before the shit really hit the fan
User Review - 10/10 by Glenn BIf you have ever doubted the genius or the madness of Klaus Kinski, watch this film: he is possessed from the early credit sequence to the absolutely unforgettable close. Some of the greatest and most daring acting ever. It's interesting that another reviewer cited the slow-motion murder as a moment that kicked her out of the film ... because for me this was the absolute pitch point of the whole experience, and Herzog's most daring moment here. I have also always liked the harsh, scraping chamber music.
User Review - 10/10 by Jordan HKinski begins this film brilliantly, absolutely mad. Herzog rocks again!
User Review - 10/10 by Stephen Wâ??Every man is an abyss. You get dizzy looking in.â?? Everyone should watch Klaus Kinski work. This film is the story of a man losing it. And Klaus Kinski is so overtly losing it that his actions look almost comical. But, it's that huge leap that can happen when comedy becomes tragedy that Klaus Kinski captures perfectly, hauntingly in his eyes and carries throughout the film as though he is constantly searching, constantly being hunted.
User Review - 10/10 by Vincent GKinski is mesmerizing as a man driven to madness by the town doctor, the military commander, and, finally, by the unfaithfulness of his wife. His characterization of a descent into madness is unforgettable. Who else could bring out inner rage to stunning exhibition? This is an odd, but fascinating, film.
User Review - 10/10 by Sean DHere is a prime example of a classic. The insane collaboration between Werner Herzog and Kinski has paid off in film. In fact, this is possibly one of the best performances i've seen in forever. Kinski conveys insanity and self loathing beautifully through complex expressions and subtle movements, most of which are missed with the first viewing and an ending that will blow your fucking mind performance wise. Another quality that makes this worth while is that fact that its a no budget film, something worth showing to beginning film makers as an example of what you can accomplish with so little.
User Review - 10/10 by Todd FWoyzeck represents another stellar, almost flawless collaboration between Werner Herzog and Klaus Kinski. Based on a 19th century play, Woyzeck follows a lowly soldier who also makes extra money performing sundry tasks for his general and participating in bizarre medical experiments that require him to eat nothing but peas. Woyzeck chaffs against the absurdly moralistic and rigid regime of the military and the experiments, and his mental state slowly begins to decay until he begins to experience schizophrenic-style delusions about the apocalypse and the underlying meaning of reality. The film charts his slow mental decay, which is spurred on by his wife's interest in other men. Dark, harrowing, and beautiful, Woyzeck is an unforgettable, existential parable about the social forces that attempt to define our identities and our attempts to inscribe meaning upon existence. Indeed, the film examines how the conflict between these two opposing forces can lead to madness and violence when they are not resolved. Kinski's acting and Herzog's brilliant direction make Woyzeck another masterpiece in the Herzog oeuvre and a film that you will not soon forget.
