A portrait of Bruno S., who became famous as an actor in Werner Herzog's films The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser and Stroszek and was forgotten all too quickly.
Acting
Bruno S. himself—unperforming, unbearably present.
Direction
Zownir refuses redemption arcs, demands witness.
Director
Miron Zownir
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bruno S. was actually discovered in a mental institution—Herzog cast him after seeing him on a TV documentary about outsider artists.
Zownir, known as 'Poet of Radical Photography,' spent decades documenting Berlin's underbelly; this was his only feature, a 60-minute accusation.
