What a delight this film is... dry, dry, dry and funny as hell (while still being incredibly sweet). It's worth seeing for Schultze's facial expressions/body language alone. His reaction when he heard the zydeco music on the radio was priceless.I love the adventure he went on and I love how he went on it.
Great relationships, wonderful acting, wonderfully shot and just...life affirming

Hi,
my wife and I saw the reviews and rented it some time ago.
Like you, I liked the transformation. In fact, I liked the movie
right up to the end.I didn't like the end. I wanted him to get what he came for.
He got part of it, but the real goal seemed to elude him.I got the feeling the film was speaking to some part of German culture;
perhaps as a cautionary tale.
The time on the boat and with the people was probably the free-est of his life. He found himself. What more is there? (if this were an american movie he'd have fallen in love, been asked to play in a band, brought the gusto home etc. but I think it's perfect as is)
I saw this a couple of Summers ago in our local "art" cinema not knowing anything about it and absolutely loved it, especially the way everyone treated him here in this country. I have recommended it to amny people and would love to see it again.
I too really enjoyed how he was treated in the US. It felt very authentic and - whether true or not - felt like many scenes were improvised with real people.
