I read today that Robert Altman's newest movie is going to be based on the 1997 documentary Hands on a Hard Body. Elke made me see the documentary in which a number of people who are competing to win a car inside a texas mall by standing with one hand always touching a Nissan truck. (You thought "hard body" was naughty didn't you?)
Well, this kind of film will have built in tension as to who wins. Bu more importantly, for Altman, the film will afford him the opportunity to do what he does best: focus on characters not plot. It's not even in production yet and I'm excited. In the meantime, go rent Hands on a Hard Body.
