Get Low is inspired by the true story of Felix "Bush" Breazeale, who attracted national attention and the largest crowd to assemble up to that date when he threw himself a living funeral party in 1938 in Roane Country, Tennessee.
For years, townsfol have been terrified of the backwoods recluse known as Felix Bush (Robert Duvall). People say hes done all manner of unspeakable things - that hes killed in cold blood; that hes in league with the Devil; that he has strange powers - and they avoid him like the plague. Then, one day, Felix rides ti town with a shotgun and a wad of cash, saying he wants to buy a funeral. Its not your unsual funeral for the dead Felix wants. On the contary, he wants a living funeral, in which anyone who ever had heard a story about him will come to tell it, while he takes it all in.
Sensing a big payday in the offing, fast-talking funeral home owner Frank Quinn (Bill Murrayú enlists his gentlemanly young apperntice, Buddy Robinson (Lucas Black), to win over Felixs business. Buddy is no stranger to Felix dark reputation, but what he discovers is that behind Felixs surreal plan lies a very real and longheld secret that must get out. As the funeral approaches, the mystery which involves the widow Mattie Darrow (Sissy Spacek), the only person in town who ever got close to Felix, and the Ilinois preacher Charlie Jackson (Bill Cobbs), who refuses to speak at his former friends funeral only deepens. But on the big day, Felix is in no mood to listen to other people spinning made-up anecdotes about him. This time, hes the one who is going to do the telling about why he has been hiding out in the woods. (official distributor synopsis)
