Schultze Gets the Blues

He does, but you probably won't, especially from watching this movie.

The film's sparseness has an off-putting effect on the viewer. Schultze, the character, remains more an idea or concept than a fleshed-out human being.

Like a lazy summer day in the Big Easy, the movie sneaks up on you.

A film with two opposite interpretations to its title -- figuratively sad, literally joyful.
