Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

David Parkinson

Tired of the degradation of Berlin, street singer Bruno S, prostitute Eva Mattes and the diminutive Clemens Scheitz head for freedom in Wisconsin. However, this being a Werner Herzog film, it proves to be anything but a land of opportunity and the troubled trio are forced apart after a bungled robbery. Straying somewhat into Wim Wenders's territory, this is a sobering portrait of America as a desolate, unwelcoming wilderness (particularly the town of Railroad Flats) and while some of the culture clash jokes are rather obvious, there's still a visionary surrealism to the story that renders it a road movie like no other.
