"my favorit". this was the word after I saw it for the first time. because it is one of films who is, in same measure, precise demonstration of a mathematics class, fine exploration of psichosis, large slices from Shakespeare universe, source of frustrations, and one of stories who represents run across the memory. after a time, I defined it as !masterpiece! but the word sounds wrong. because no specific word works in its case.
sure, nothing surprising for the work of Herzog-Kinski collaboration. but , a nuance change everything. because many films are for public. "Woyzeck" is a film for yourself. if you are victim, if you are the others, if you are oppressed, if you are insignifiant, if you are indifferent. Klaus Kinski not gives the "monster" who you expect. but...yourself. something well known in profound sense. something essential. and this does "Woyzeck" special. like a cry, like a mirror, like a so different but predictable "Othello". another film who could be compared with it - maybe,"Das weisse Band" by Michael Hanecke.
