A Prairie Home Companion
My favorite movie so far this year is A Prairie Home Companion. Filmed in St. Paul, it's a hometown movie with universal appeal and typical Altman touches that I like so much in his movies, particularly two favorites, Nashville and The Straight Story.
One thing I enjoyed is that it is filmed much like a stage play, right down to striking the set at the end. The emphasis is on acting and story, wonderfully entertaining and thought-provoking. I highly recommend it.
I previously posted Roger Ebert's review in "Our Prairie Home."
