I wasn&#8217;t aware of the film until I heard Duvall&#8217;s articulate, insightful <a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/templates\/story\/story.php?storyId=128729785\"target=\"_blank\" >interview over at NPR <\/a>the other day. In that interview he discusses the spiritual themes surrounding this quirky story about  a recluse, Felix Bush, who wants to throw an elaborate funeral &#8211; while he is still alive.What I respect most about this interview &#8211; other than it doesn&#8217;t give away all of the secrets of &#8220;Get Low&#8221;  as often happens these days in interviews-  is that Duvall discusses his deep desire to create Christian characters that don&#8217;t condescend to the movie audience and discusses his choices in &#8220;The Apostle&#8221; and &#8220;Tender Mercies&#8221;   to create less predictable stories of faith.He also discusses a connection between this movie and the great playwright Horton Foote  &#8211; who wrote the screenplay that featured Duvall&#8217;s film debut in &#8220;To Kill A  MockingBIrd&#8221; -that gave me goosebumps when I heard it.<!--more-->If I still haven&#8217;t gotten your interest yet, here&#8217;s the trailer that I am sure will get you just as
