Schultze Gets the Blues - DVD

In a rural town, Betty faces a brutal reality as her family risks losing their farm.

This heartfelt story blends the spirit of heartland Americana with ecological urgency and the lengths one will go to protect family.

Ethan Hawke lights up the screen as jazz legend Chet Baker, whose tumultuous life is thrillingly reimagined with wit, verve, and style to burn. In the 1950s, Baker was one of the most famous trumpeters in the world, renowned as both a pioneer of the West Coast jazz scene and an icon of cool. By the 1960s, he was all but washed up, his career and personal life in shambles due to years of heroin addiction. In his innovative anti-biopic, director Robert Budreau zeroes in on Baker s life at a key moment in the 1960s, just as the musician attempts to stage a hard-fought comeback, spurred in part by a passionate romance with a new flame (Carmen Ejogo). Creatively blending fact with fiction and driven by Hawke s virtuoso performance, Born to Be Blue unfolds with all the stylistic brio and improvisatory genius of great jazz.

A rich widow and a single mother falls in love with a man much younger than her. Her worst fears come to pass when she finds out that her young lover and a friend have conspired to defraud her of her wealth.
