Bruno is an alcoholic. He walks out of jail into the first bar and immediately gets into trouble.

He's a character worthy of Lars Von Trier's 'golden heart' trilogy, you immediately fall in love with his lack of affectation or ill will towards anybody.

The film follows his search for the American dream and it's inevitable collapse. An utterly brilliant film.

Other films in the W. Herzog Film Season:
