A Prairie Home Companion
2006. USA. Directed by Robert Altman. Screenplay by Garrison Keillor. With Meryl Streep, Lily Tomlin, Lindsay Lohan, Woody Harrelson, Kevin Kline. In the last of Altman’s backstage stories, performers of a popular radio show facing cancellation rally for its final broadcast, as sinister and angelic figures hover. The director’s final film is a meditation on death and a fittingly nostalgic tribute to the ensemble character of his work. 105 min.
