Alban Berg - Wozzeck(2016)
Alban Berg - Wozzeck Synopsis
The soldier Wozzeck (Christian Gerhaher) flits through a world that he is unable to decipher. The doctor torments him with absurd medical experiments; the captain humiliates and ridicules him. And Wozzeck’s lover, Marie (Gun-Brit Barkmin), with whom he has a child, cuckolds him with the drum major. Wozzeck becomes a murderer, stabbing Marie to death. Georg Büchner’s drama fragment, on which Alban Berg based his first opera, is an unflinching case study of social injustice and human suffering. But it is also a grotesque piece that thrives on exaggeration – and in which only a fine line separates the unfathomable from the ridiculous. Accordingly, director Andreas Homoki forgoes all realism.
Alban Berg - Wozzeck (2016) is a music film directed by Michael Beyer, released on January 1, 2016 with a runtime of 1h 41m. It stars Christian Gerhaher, Brandon Jovanovich, Mauro Peter and Wolfgang Ablinger-Sperrhacke.
