Synopsis
Get Low (2010) — watch online on iFILM. This American drama, directed by Aaron Schneider in his feature debut, stars Robert Duvall, Bill Murray and Sissy Spacek in a story rooted in a genuine piece of Tennessee folklore: in 1938, a reclusive old man named Felix Breazeale threw his own funeral party while he was still breathing.
Felix (Duvall) has been a hermit for thirty years. The town has forgotten what he did, and he has never bothered to correct the rumors. Now he wants to rent a mule, buy a plot, and invite the whole county to hear the truth — before he is no longer around to tell it. Funeral director Frank Quinn (Murray) smells a business opportunity; the woman from Felix's past (Spacek) smells something else entirely.
Schneider shot the film in a deliberate, unhurried register that suits its subject — a man who spent a lifetime delaying one conversation. Duvall plays Felix as a bundle of stubbornness and buried grief, and it is one of his finest late-career performances. Stream Get Low (2010) online on iFILM.
