Digital Restoration
Several aspects of Stroszek stem from Werner Herzog’s frequent visits to the Pacific Film Archive; these are reflected in the “Special Thanks” screen credits for Errol Morris and Les Blank. It was Morris (a Berkeley resident and PFA regular) who led Herzog to his location sites in Wisconsin, and Blank who inspired one of the more memorable bits in the film (see Blank’s Spend It All).
A limited number of wheelchair accessible spaces may still be available for this screening. Please contact

Jean-Luc Godard left Cannes in 1985 with a contract for a Shakespeare adaptation, drawn up on a napkin, to be delivered to Hollywood in a year’s time. Tom Luddy was largely responsible for that meeting and worked as an associate producer (uncredited) on King Lear. “Godard’s ‘rediscovery’ of Shakespeare is a grand statement about the power of moviemaking” (Richard Brody, New Yorker).
