Cortesia do Saulomeri ( noticia ) :

Altman é ovacionado em Berlim por filme sobre programa de rádio

BERLIM - O veterano cineasta americano Robert Altman escolheu um tradicional programa de rádio americano, ameaçado de sair do ar, como tema de seu novo filme, uma história clássica, porém tocante, contada por um elenco de estrelas como Meryl Streep e Woody Harrelson.

A comédia "A Prairie Home Companion", também estrelada por Tommy Lee Jones, Lindsay Lohan e Kevin Kline, foi escrita por Garrison Keillor, o astro principal e locutor do programa de rádio que dá título ao filme e é ouvido por milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo.

Keillor aparece interpretando ele mesmo na película, toda rodada no Fitzgerald Theatre, em Minnesota, sede do programa reproduzido na tela.

Em sua exibição neste domingo, no Festival Internacional de Cinema de Berlim, o filme foi ovacionado pelos exigentes representantes da imprensa e crítica de Berlim, como um dos favoritos para faturar o Urso de Ouro, principal prêmio, ao fim do festival anual de cinema.

A história exibe os bastidores do programa, onde os personagens revivem os gloriosos dias do rádio, tocam gravações em vinil, remontam clássicos momentos, embalados da música country e folk aos jingles e comerciais de rádio.

Meryl Streep e sua irmã na tela Lily Tomlin foram elogiadas por investirem seus corações em suas performances, enquanto Harrelson e seu companheiro de microfones John C. Reilly arrancavam risadas com a interpretação cômica de caubóis.

De acordo com a crítica, "A Prairie Home Companion" relembra o desempenho de Altman em "Nashville", filme de 1975 que também traz a música como tema principal.

Mais sobre A Prairie Home Companion...

 

 

 

Crítica da Variety:

 

 

Rib-ticklingly funny at times and genial as all get-out' date=' Robert AltmanRobert Altman's

take on Garrison Keillor's three-decades-old Minnesota institution is

about nothing more or less than the privileged musical and behavioral

moments created by the engagingly diverse cast. The shambling, oddly

diffident Keillor makes a curious central figure, and there are few if

any recent precedents to indicate if a loyal radio audience will follow

its enthusiasm from the airwaves to movie houses. But the "Prairie Home

Companion" brand name and likely upbeat word-of-mouth should translate

into nice specialized bizbiz,

with crossover to significant Middle American consumption possible if

all the cards come up right for Picturehouse upon skedded June 9

release.

From a story he worked out with Ken LaZebnik, Keillor

concocted the screenplay about a radio show very much like the one he's

been broadcasting since July 1974 from St. Paul, Minn. With the

exception of framing scenes at an Edward Hopperesque diner, entire pic

takes place as the "fictional" show prepares for its final broadcast

before its longtime home, the Fitzgerald Theater, is demolished by

Texas real estate interests for Joni Mitchell's proverbial parking lot.

But

no big deal is made of the occasion, as GK, as he's called, prefers to

shuffle along as if it's just another program. With Edward Lachman's

stealthy HD cameras constantly on the move, Altman follows the various

participants on and backstage, capturing their quirks, preoccupations

and agendas as their private and professional lives seamlessly mix.

It's

an artistic scheme the director has used numerous times before,

including in his films about other artistic milieu, such as "The Company""The Company"

(dance), "Kansas City" (jazz), "Ready-to-Wear" (fashion), "The Player"

(film), "Vincent & Theo" (painting) and "Nashville" (country music).

Altman's

first significant professional job was as a radio writer, and while the

film is scarcely concerned with craft and mechanics, there is a comfort

with the setting that dovetails with the helmer's evident delight in

the performers he's put in front of the camera; no trace here of the

condescension that has sometimes marred his work.

Private

detective Guy Noir is one of the "Companion's" memorable longtime

characters, and here he's been slightly reimagined as a chronically

underemployed investigator who handles security for the show.

Wonderfully enacted by Kevin KlineKevin Kline

in '40s threads and attitudes, Guy is supposed to keep an eye on things

(while narrating the tale) but becomes distracted by a mysterious

blonde (Virginia Madsen) who materializes to insinuate herself into the

proceedings in unforeseeable ways.

Also carrying over from Keillor's actual show are cowboy crooners Dusty and Lefty (Woody Harrelson, John C. ReillyJohn C. Reilly),

whose ongoing banter culminates in a final number, "Bad Jokes," in

which the off-color lyrics are indeed as bad as they are hilarious.

Adding more down-home flavor is L.Q. Jones as a vet country singer.

But the most prominent singers here are Yolanda and Rhonda Johnson (Meryl StreepMeryl Streep,

Lily Tomlin), the surviving half of what used to be a promising quartet

of sisters. In the company of Yolanda's teen daughter Lola (Lindsay LohanLindsay Lohan),

who writes suicide poetry, the two gals yack on in wacky ways about

family, special memories and disappointments, one of which, for

Yolanda, includes an aborted romance with GK; this story strand is

understated in the extreme, but informs Streep's interactions with

Keillor in a funny way.

So unhurried and distractible is GK that

it seems a wonder that he can stay on top of all the demands of hosting

the radio show. That he can is a tribute to his very pregnant assistant

stage manager Molly (Maya Rudolph), for at the slightest provocation

Keillor will launch into a story or anecdote that inevitably takes a

while to tell. You might have to go back all the way to James Stewart

to find a bigscreen antecedent for Keillor's folksy Midwestern manner

and leisurely verbal style.

All through the show, GK refuses to

acknowledge that it's the finale. "Every show's your last show. That's

my philosophy," he explains. Nor will he mention it when one cast

member dies offstage during the broadcast; "I don't do eulogies."

While

these lines may well have come straight from Keillor, one can only

imagine they have a special resonance for Altman, who was 80 when the

film was shot, something the film's fleet style doesn't betray for a

moment. The specter of death, or at least the end of something, hovers

over the enterprise, but in the lightest possible way, as if to ignore

it -- as GK ignores the theater's impending doom -- is the only

possible policy.

The musical numbers are brief, spirited and

thoroughly delightful, all backed by Keillor's actual house band. Tom

Keith, his sound effects man, also gets the spotlight for a couple of

diverting minutes.

Amusement comes from many sources, although

first among equals are Kline, whose comic timing in an uproariously

silly phone scene, is in a class comparable to Buster Keaton and Cary

Grant, and Harrelson, who locks in a hitherto unknown dry drollness

that lifts his every line.

Tommy Lee Jones turns up toward the

end as the Texas "axe man" come to witness the final moments of the

Fitzgerald (named for St. Paul's own F. Scott, a bust of whom Guy Noir

scavenges as a keepsake).

Pic is burnished in amber shades, and there's no trace of the images' HD origins in the 35mm transfer

 

 

Crítica do Hollywood Reporter:

 

BERLIN -- Not since Woody Allen's "Radio Days" has anyone created such

a cinematic Valentine to the wonderfully imaginative medium of radio as

"A Prairie Home Companion." Garrison Keillor, impresario, creator and

host of one of radio's longest running programs -- 31 years and

counting -- and director Robert Altman are a match made in heaven. To

these two Midwesterners, the region's dry, whimsical humor, unfailing

politeness and straight-shooting sensibility are as natural as their

own skins. There is no artifice or slickness here, just a native, keen

intelligence that slyly hides behind homespun wit and verbal slapstick.

 


Keillor's radio show is, of course, beloved by many

and Altman's movie, as Altman movies so often do, comes heavily

populated with marquee actors. So the domestic theatrical audience for

"Prairie" should be wide and varied. Overseas is a tough call: So much

of the movie relies on deep-grained American humor along with puns and

word play in English that get lost in subtitles. Nevertheless, an

audience here at the Berlinale responded favorably to the

music-flavored film even if some of verbal gags fell flat.

 


Filmed at St. Paul's Fitzgerald Theater in Keillor's

home state of Minnesota, "Prairie" essentially puts a radio show much

like "A Prairie Home Companion" on film. Backstage, onstage and around

the aging theater, the movie (written by Keillor from a story by him

and Ken LaZebnik) imagines a fateful final broadcast of a show that has

been given the axe by a soulless Texas corporation. (Keillor knows how

to pick his villain's state, doesn't he?)

 


The central musical acts belong to Yolanda and Rhonda

Johnson (Meryl Streep and Lily Tomlin), the remaining members of what

once was a four-sister country music act, and Dusty and Lefty (Woody

Harrelson and John C. Reilly), singing cowboys and rivals in

one-upsmanship.

 


Yolanda's daughter Lola (Lindsay Lohan) distracts

herself from her mom's oft-told tales of the theatrical life by penning

poems about suicide. Guy Noir, a recurring character on Keillorr's

show, is brought aboard here as the program's "security director." As

the throwback detective, Kevin Kline mixes Chandler-esque dialogue with

more than a touch of Peter Seller's Inspector Clouseau.

 


The broadcast's harried stage manager (Tim Russell, a

regular on Keillor's show) and his assistant ("Saturday Night Live's"

Maya Rudolph) are given new ways to break into sweat by the

unpredictable cast. And through all the delightful confusion and

musical numbers drift two iconic figures: GK (Keillor himself), a

benign, unruffled presence who smoothly adapts to all exigencies, and a

Dangerous Woman (Virginia Madsen), an angel in a white trench coat,

taking the earthly and shapely form of a woman who died listening to

the show's broadcast. It was a penguin joke that done her in.

 


Minor attempts to introduce plot material -- such as

an unlikely past affair between Yolanda and GK, the death of a

performer and the arrival of the corporate axeman (Tommy Lee Jones) --

never lead anywhere. Even the filmmakers seem to forget them moments

after their introduction.

 


No, the movie steadfastly sticks to its radio roots.

The comic bits from Streep & Tomlin and Harrelson & Reilly are

gems of off-the-cuff humor. Keillor's droll lyrics and jingles for

fictional sponsors poke good-natured fun. The toe-tapping musical

performances are refreshingly captured by Edward Lachman's mobile

camera, all smoothly edited by Jacob Craycroft.

 


As a character remarks, this radio show is the kind of

program that died 50 years ago only someone forgot to tell the

performers. Thank God for that.

Acho que já temos o primeiro possível candidato ao Oscar 2007 . Seria excelente ver o Altman receber um Oscar depois do honorário desse ano .<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Um palpite( precipitado , mas em todo o caso ...)  : acho que esse filme é que o tem mais chances de ser indicado e até vencer o prêmio de melhor elenco no Sindicato dos Atores (SAG) no ano que vem , e deve enfrentar a concorrência com All The King's Men nessa categoria .

alguém sabe qual vai ser o título em português? Espero que não seja algo como "A Prairie Home Companion - Bastidores do Rádio"...

Besides, acho que não vai ser indicado ao oscar de Melhor Filme, não depois de Nashville, de temática semelhante, e principalmente que Altman é extremamente ignorado. Short Cuts e O Jogador por exemplo, só receberam indicação à melhor diretor. Mas porém, pode ser um ano diferente, o choque Altman x Scorsese vai ser chocante, os dois "grandes perdedores" da academia...
