A lyrical, melancholy, bitterly funny tale of three oddly-assorted Berlin misfits who follow the American Dream to Wisconsin and find a bleak El Dorado of TV football, CB Radio, truck stops and mobile homesteading. The title role is played by Bruno S (The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser), with Eva Mattes as a soulful whore and Clemens Scheitz as an eccentric old man conducting a homemade search for the secrets of "animal magnetism." "We watch with a kind of fascination, because Herzog cuts loose from narrative and follows his characters through the relentless logic of their adventure." (Chicago Sun-Times)
