I tend to have a preference for those films ("Kaspar Hauser", "Stroszek", "Heart of Glass" and "Even Dwarfs Started Small") that do not have Kinski (though he was a hell of an actor, and, perhaps, because of it one's attention is centred on the manic protaonists he essays!) because they allow the viewer's attention to wander to other things that are as important to Herzog as his protagonist. "Stroszek" is a difficult film, but the manner in which it slowly builds up to that climactic sequence of the dancing chicken in an otherwise desolate landscape, is phenomenal. That last image, at once a shocking finale to an otherwise understated film, and a befitting culmination of everything that preceded it, makes "Stroszek" stand out.
