Whether it's the poor aging of Georg Büchner's original play, or Klaus Kinski's impenetrable and frankly hilarious performance, or even the fact the opening credits of this movie featured sped up footage of Kinski tackling a military fitness regimen, Woyzeck was a tremendously isolating film that failed to compensate for that isolation with anything particularly intelligent or thought-provoking to say. Werner Herzog's trademark slow pacing can be wonderfully atmospheric with the right script, but here it just makes 80 minutes spent in a very unpleasant world stretch to eternity. Avoid.
