Back to What's On

Synopsis

From the director of comic ‘mockumentaries’ This is Spinal Tap and Best in Show, A Mighty Wind is a satirical journey into the off-beat heart of American pop-folk music. A spoof documentary crew shadows three bands, The Folksmen, the New Main Street Singers, and now-divorced couple Mitch & Mickey, as they take the stage together for the first time in 40 years for a memorial concert.

Director and performer Christopher Guest and his excellent ensemble cast are spot-on in their folk resurrections, aided by pitch-perfect song parodies.
