A Mighty Wind

Directed by Christopher Guest

From the folks who brought you THIS IS SPINAL TAP and BEST IN SHOW, a witty and warm journey into the sappy heart of American pop-folk music. The Folksmen (Guest, McKean, Shearer), the New Main Street Singers, and divorced couple Mitch & Mickey (Levy, O’Hara) take the stage together for the first time in 40 years for a memorial concert, shadowed by a (mock) documentary crew. Guest and his excellent ensemble cast are spot-on in their folk resurrections, aided by pitch-perfect song parodies and special touches like hilarious faux album covers.
