|  (Arts & Entertainment) The Lowdown On 'Get Low'
Sept 2, 2010  MP3
Felix (Robert Duvall) is a miserable old hermit who has lived in an isolated cabin for nearly 40 years. Upon discovering that an old friend has passed away, Felix hatches a plan to throw himself a "funeral party". Frank Quinn (Bill Murray), a down-and-out undertaker eager for business, obliges... and helps to plan the event in which the townsfolk - many of whom fear and even despise Felix - are invited to attend and tell their stories about the reclusive figure. As it turns out, Felix has his own story to tell.
The Oklahoma Gazette's, Joe Wertz, helps us "Get Low" into some of the key characters and themes in this compelling and even humorous film.
