Plot Summary

Everything in town appears calm, placid, lovely. But Woyzeck, a rifleman assigned as an orderly, hears voices -- the times are out of joint, at least in his cosmos. To his captain, Woyzeck is a comic marvel: ignorant but courageous, full of energy to little purpose. To a local doctor, Woyzeck is a curiosity, the object of cruel study. Woyzeck, 40, has a young wife, Marie, and a small child. He dotes on them, but Marie, even though she has periods of guilt and remorse, carries on affairs and flirtations. When the captain drops broad hints of Woyzeck's being a cuckold, his inner demons and the voices of the spheres take over. Will madness bring action? Of what sort?

Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: Woyzeck is, if possible, ever more mysterious by the time we reach the end than it is at the beginning. – Vincent Canby, New York Times, Jul 16, 2008

Rotten: The film seems to have been barely directed--the camera setups are relentlessly banal. – Chicago Reader, Jun 24, 2010

Fresh: Handsomely mounting each scene, the director has trouble attaining any forward momentum, though he achieves some powerful moments while trying. – Keith Phipps, AV Club, Jun 24, 2010
