Throwback on the Big Screen

This is Spinal Tap

Sat, May 23, 7PM

1984 | Comedy, Music | Rob Reiner | 1h 22m | R

“This Is Spinal Tap” shines a light on the self-contained universe of a metal band struggling to get back on the charts, including everything from its complicated history of ups and downs, gold albums, name changes and undersold concert dates, along with the full host of requisite groupies, promoters, hangers-on and historians, sessions, release events and those special behind-the-scenes moments that keep it all real.

An instant cult classic, Rob Reiner’s 1984 mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap laid the groundwork for the modern improv comedy with its laser-precise skewering of the heyday of ’80s heavy metal and the vagaries of making it as a touring act.”- Jake Cole, Slant Magazine

Reiner’s directorial debut remains his best and most inventive film, a note-perfect parody of show-biz self-importance and pre-MTV production values.” -Manohla Dargis, L.A Weekly
