In the post, Otto says he’s viewing Prairie Home Companion. Hope he blogs on that….

In a second dispatch from the Berlin Film Festival, Walker film curator Dean Otto discusses A Prairie Home Companion. Long story short: he didn’t love it, but “if you like PHC, youll love this film. I thought there would be more narrative to drive the action of the film, but its slight. The film really focuses on the performances of the live broadcast which will be a treat to PHC admirers. Not being one of those, I was left to marvel in the complex cinematography of Ed Lachman which will be nominated for an Oscar next year, Im sure.”
