Get Low is a magical and moving blend of folk tale, fable and real-life legend. Spun in the Southern storytelling tradition, it is about a mysterious 1930s Tennessee hermit who famously threw his own rollicking funeral party... while he was still alive. This debut feature-length effort from director Aaron Schneider stars Robert Duvall, Bill Murray, Sissy Spacek, and Lucas Black.
Reasons to see Get Low? Well, there's 3: Duvall, Murray, and Spacek. Schneider won an Academy Award for his 2003 short, Two Soldiers, so it's probably fair to say he's a semi-competent director--not that he'd need to be with this cast. The story sounds absolutely charming, and Get Low is sure to be, at the very least, a lesson in acting excellence. I cannot wait to see Murray and Duvall feed off each other in their roles as cynical funeral parlor owner and withdrawn eccentric, respectively. Trailers have been hard to come by but there is a short clip embedded for your viewing pleasure below.
Get Low screens at the Paramount theater on Wednesday, March 17th at 7:00pm.
