Schultze Gets the Blues Reviews (2 reviews) Source : rec.art.movies.reviews newsgroup Rating : 4 What's the opposite of "hot"? If you said "cool," then sorry: That's a synonym. If you said "cold," you're on the money. Now, what's the opposite of "Pierce Brosnan"? Did you say "Horst Krause"? Correct the first time. You obviously know that the German character actor Horst Krause looks and acts a lot more like Fat Albert than like James Bond, which is probably why he's likely to garner considerable audience sympathy for his role in "Schultze Gets the Blues." This small film about a guy who is small (except in girth) presents a penetrating, humorous and sentimental look at a working-class everyman in a small town in Eastern Germany. Schultze and two of his miner buddies, Jurgen (Harald Warmbrunn) and Manfred (Karl Fred Muller), have been retired from their jobs hauling coal. They're now pensioners. What will they do? This is a theme that has resonance in the U.S. as well, particularly now that we're beset with media reports ad nauseum about what will happen in our own country when the baby boomers begin to retire. The theme of "Schultze Gets the Blues" appears as well in the slicker, bigger-budget "About Schmidt," which deals with a 65-year-old insurance exec who suddenly finds he has time on his hands and overstays his welcome with a few members of his immediate family after his wife dies of a heart attack. more Schultze Gets the Blues reviews ...
