Schultze Gets the Blues




I just saw the best movie I've seen in about ten years. It's a German film with English subtitles called Schultze Gets the Blues (2003). The main character is the biggest hump of an accordion player & hardly says anything throughout the movie, but he doesn't need to. He plays his part of the froghuman perfectly without even trying.

The only other movies I can think of that compare are Sideways (Paul Giamatti = best actor of our time), and maybe Napoleon Dynamite, which it's similar to at least from a directorial standpoint.
