This Is Spinal Tap (1984)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: col 82m
Director: Rob Reiner
Cast: Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer, Rob Reiner

Synopsis:

A British heavy metal band is shadowed by a documentary film-maker during one fateful tour of the U.S.

Review:

Possibly a pioneer in a new form, the 'mockumentary', Guest/McKean/Shearer's script is a laugh-out-loud parody-homage to metal bands, their self-styled significance and larger than life personalities. Forever prized for their choice creations such as the album title 'Smell the Glove' and the amplifier that goes up to 11, the group went on to other targets of affectionate ridicule, while Reiner became a prodigious director of both comedy and drama.
