Written by: 
Georg Büchner
Plot
A soldier is driven to murder.
Sinekatalog’s take
Werner Herzog's quick-shot adaptation of Büchner's play has Klaus Kinski as a tormented soldier. Short, stark and intense, it was made in days after Nosferatu and is a bleak, concentrated tragedy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
