Oscar-winning filmmaker Jan Sverak (Kolya) produced but did not direct this understated slice-of-life seriocomedy, a co-production of the Czech Republic and Slovakia helmed by Alice Nellis (Vylet) from her own original screenplay. Iva Bittova stars as Julie, a professional translator quietly buckling beneath the weight of a routine, unsatisfying marriage to businessman Harold. In low-key desperation, she slips into a gentle mid-life crisis, catalyzed by her discovery that one of her favorite vocalists, blues legend Nina Simone (whose 1958 cover of a Lorenz and Hart tune supplies the title of this movie), just passed away. Julie responds by deciding on the spur of the moment to purchase a piano for the family's spacious living room, which sends her on a colorful journey through the streets of Prague. En route to find the piano, Julie experiences a series of adventures that include breaking up with an extramarital lover, theater director Karel (Ivan Franek); befriending an eccentric music shop proprietor named Ivan (Miloslav Koenig); and spending a pleasant period of time with her carefree adolescent daughter (Martha Issova). ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
