摘要:Bruno Stroszek is released from prison and warned to stop drinking. He has few skills and fewer expectations: with a glockenspiel and an accordion, he ekes out a living as a street musician. He befriends Eva, a prostitute down on her luck. After they are harried and beaten by the thugs who have been Eva's pimps, they join Bruno's neighbor, Scheitz, an elderly eccentric, when he leaves Germany to live in Wisconsin. That winter on the barren prairie, Bruno works as a mechanic, Eva as a waitress. They buy a trailer. Then, bills mount, the bank threatens to repossess the trailer, Eva wants privacy, and the promise of a happy life deserts Bruno. , 本片反映德國流亡者在美國的命運及普通人在唯利是圖的社會難以找到位置的悲劇。電影中可怕的迴圈象徵極端悲觀主義,人的無能致使環境制約強大,無論是片中那頭一聽音樂就跳舞的雞,還是一看燈光就按警鈴的兔子,甚至是酒鬼史楚錫和妓女艾娃,他們始終逃脫不出命運的束縛。荷索借史楚錫之口大罵美國資本主義對貧民的剝削,展現他一貫環境與人性的主題。
