A Prairie Home Companion
Robert Altman, Director
2006 | 105 min
The illustrious career of filmmaker Robert Altman concludes with a sweetly elegiac backstage comedy about the final performance of a 30-year-old radio variety show, a fictional extension of Garrison Keillor's beloved creation. It's agreed this evening's swan song will be like any other broadcast, which means it will include performances by the rhapsodizing and bickering Johnson Sisters (Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin) and singing cowboys Dusty and Lefty (Woody Harrelson and John C. Reilly). "Lovely — simple and profound" - Roger Ebert.
