German films can be depressing, although not so much as Finnish films...still be prepared.
Schultze Gets the Blues/ German film...thought provoking. Touches the soul. Everyone works most of their life and then retires and wonders if they can find something to give their life spark. Schultze realizes he has to do what he wants for once. The metaphors are inspired. An easy understated film about music and life. First time director uses his limited funds to make this very real film set in Germany in the potash mine area of Saxony-Anhalt and in Texas/ Louisiana.
After being laid off from his job at the salt mines, Schultze and old guy with a boring life deals with the crisis of trading polka music for zydeco.
I enjoyed this slow-moving different type of film. No Hollywood hoopla here. Recommended!
