Early Review: A Prairie Home Companion
A friend of mine whose film opinions I greatly respect has started a blog called You Know, For Film and his first post is a doozy. It's an advanced peek at Robert Altman's A Prairie Home Companion:
Altman's potential final film (re)imagines the final live-broadcast of Garrison Keillor's public radio staple "A Prairie Home Companion" as a down-home musical variety show complete with gospel and country-western acts. An assorted cast of eccentric characters populate the Minnesota-based station that has just been sold to a media conglomerate.
Jason's provocative and insightful reviews have been circulating privately for years. I'm glad he's finally going public. You Know, For Film will be added swiftly to my list of personal movielogs.
UPDATE 1/25/06: Rumors that P.T. Anderson also had a hand in directing Prairie Home Companion
