An adaptation of Georg Büchner’s novella, Lenz, chronicling the poet Jakob Lenz’s gradual descent into insanity and madness. The setting is transposed from 18th century Germany to New York City in the early 1980s.
Alexandre Rockwell’s inventive debut feature was shot amid NYC’s punk scene with a non-professional cast (including the director’s very own friends). A low-budget adaptation of Georg Büchner’s German text, this poignant psychological tale is newly restored after going largely unseen for decades.
