Stroszek (1977) by Werner Herzog.

Bruno Stroszek (played by Bruno S.) is a West Berlin street performer. He meets Eva, a prostitute down on her luck. They decide to leave Germany and accompany Bruno's eccentric elderly neighbour Scheitz to Wisconsin to live with his American nephew Clayton.

After Bruno S. died recently, Herzog remarked "In all my films, and with all the great actors with whom I have worked, he was the best. There is no one who comes close to him. I mean in his humanity, and the depth of his performance, there is no one like him."

- Herzog on Bruno S.
