Werner Herzog was one of the directors behind the New German Cinema (approx. 1962- 1982). In "Stroszek" (1977), the main character Bruno Stroszek dreams of getting away from his unhappy life in Berlin and starting a new life in the land of dreams. Together with two friends, he sets out for Wisconsin, USA. Bruno's dream, however, does not quite come true. Renowned American film critic Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times once called it "one of the oddest films ever made" when including it as one of his "Great Movies". It's odd for sure and it leaves you with a strange feeling.
