"Constantly working against Mr. Herzog's very cool view of the human condition is not only the humor...but also the physical beauty of the landscapes, the cityscapes and the squalid interiors. This visual lyricism, which at first seems at odds with the subject, eventually becomes a further celebration of Stroszek's survival."
—Vincent Canby, New York Times
