This is Good #19

This is Good: A place to share things we think are GOOD this week.

Stroszek, Werner Herzog, Haringey Independent Cinema, 26-28th November

Herzog's 1977 off-beat road film is showing at the community-run HIC which, for the last two-years, has been bringing independent, alternative and undeground cinema to the big screen. The improvised classic is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of European cinema.

"This fascinating portrayal of alienation in an increasingly hostile world is on many film critics ‘must see’ lists. Herzog skillfully depicts the pathos of everyday survival in this brilliant tragicomedy, which is enhanced by the casting of mainly local people."
