Wodzeck is a 1984 West German drama film directed by Oliver Herbrich[1] based on the 1837 play Woyzeck by Georg Büchner.
Franz Wodzeck works on a factory production line in the German rust belt region.
There is very little emotion in his life until he meets Maleen, a cashier in a department store.
He consults the staff doctor but he just wants to ensure Wodzeck's fitness for work.
During a porno film show, some of his fellowworkmen call Wodzeck's attention to Maleen's new relationship with the boss who had asked her for a dance at the workshop Christmas party.
At night, he feels tormented by horrible dreams recalling his time in the mortuary.
[3][4] Herbrich commissioned film composer Andreas Hofner to create some pop songs with German lyrics for the film[5] – a task he only reluctantly accepted.
[7] In Germany it was released by enfilm, Christian Meinke, who also appeared as the taxi driver in the film.
