Robert Duvall won an Oscar for his role as a burnout country singer trying to redeem himself through love in Bruce Beresford's "Tender Mercies". The movie is as much about Texas and the music scene there as it is about its protagonist. All sorts of things will go down in this man's life, but he has no choice but to keep moving forward.
It's one of the most well acted and well directed movies that I've seen, with some truly complex characters. Duvall, along with Tess Harper, Betty Buckley (the gym teacher in "Carrie"), Wilford Brimley, Ellen Barkin and others put in their all. Great one.
Bruce Beresford later directed "Driving Miss Daisy".
