Next was the quiet "Schultz gets the blues" German movie by director Michael Schorr. If you don't have extreme patience then you might pass this one up. It's a sweet movie but very, very slow paced. I kept expecting something to happen or for there to be a climax of some kind but it never happens. Schultze lives in a small town in Germany and has just retired from the mine. In his spare time he plays his accordian. One night on the radio he hears a upbeat blues diddy and he is hooked. After winning a trip to Texas he takes a little journey to experience the Louisiana swamps. Like I said before it is a slow turn and almost no dialog. A sweet little film but only for the hardcore art house crowd.
