Groundhog Day
Harold Ramis / US, 1993 / 100 min.
Today is Groundhog Day, a curious American tradition, when it’s up to a groundhog to predict the length of winter. Ramis’ comedy in the spirit of Frank Capra is full of absurd plot twists. Bill Murray delivers a superb bristling performance as a grumpy weatherman.
In Punxsutawney people believe that the groundhog roused during the first week of February can predict how long the winter is yet to last. Weatherman Phil Connors (Bill Murray), originally from Pittsburgh, but now working for local TV in Punxsutawney, is sent to report. And that while he dreamed of a career as the star reporter for one of the major American networks.
