Review of Schultze Gets the Blues (2003) by Jerzy W — 09 Jun 2010
This is an extremely slow and quiet German movie. Schultz does get under your skin, though. He retires from the mines and hangs out with his former co-workers. He plays the accordion in a polka band. He develops a relationship with a lively woman at the nursing home where he faithfully visits his unresponsive wife.
He discovers American Cajun Zydeco blues on the radio. When he wins a contest to travel to Texas for a polka festival he ends up sailing a boat to New Orleans. I love the little gnome that he attaches to the steering wheel.
Along the way he receives some southern hospitality and spends his last days enjoying music that he loves.
