Director Robert Altman and a tour-de-force cast elevate A Prairie Home Companion's dreamy elegy about an antiquated radio variety show into a twangy, rewind-worthy lullaby.

EXTRAS Liking improv on set, Altman claims in a commentary he never read A Prairie Home Companion creator-star Garrison Keillor's script. Fun links to the show's old-fashioned ads (''Don't oversweeten: A message from the Rhubarb Producers of Minnesota''). And a few bars of ''Goodbye to My Mama'' will have you in tears and on the phone with your own mother.
