First things first: You will need a lot of patience while watching "Schultze gets the blues". There are no dramatic scenes, no sensational turns or something that blows you out of your seat. Instead, the film develops slowly, working merely with pictures than with dialogues. And this is what it's all about: the boredom of retirement, the concealed longing for something new and the desperate hope of getting the "blues". Schultze, the main actor,tries to seek it by playing a tune he heard on the radio on his accordion, which leads him from Sachsen-Anhalt (in the former East Germany, DDR) to a music festival in Texas. This film is definitely worth watching, although it won't satisfy your desire for action or a surprising plot.
It is quiet impressive what kind of story can be told without saying a single word: In Interstella 5555, "electronic music"-producing Daft Punk combined their
music from the album "Discovery" with a Japanese Anime from the Animation Studios of Leiji Matsumotos, famous for several popular Animes such as Captain Future. Nearly 70 minutes, which never get boring due to the astonishing pictures of this mastermind and the incredible music of Daft Punk. If you think "One more time" was too commercial, and you didn't understand the "story" of this music video at all, you have to see Interstella 5555 in order to be able to realize just how magnificent all of the songs on the album are and how well they match the mood and atmosphere of the Anime. If you ask me, I'd give it a 9 out of 10 and strongly recommend everybody to watch this one in a cinema (or even disco) to get the full pleasure.
