Rob Reiner
This Is Spinal Tap - Cinephonic
1984 American mockumentary comedy film co-written and directed by Rob Reiner in his feature directorial debut.
This Is Spinal Tap is a mockumentary following the fictional British heavy metal band Spinal Tap on their comeback tour in the United States. As a documentary filmmaker captures their journey, the band faces dwindling popularity, disastrous gigs, and absurd mishaps—from malfunctioning stage props to creative tensions. With deadpan humor and satirical commentary on the rock music world, the film portrays the rise and fall of a band that takes itself very seriously—despite everything going hilariously wrong.
The film will be introduced by Joeri Gordijn, Head of Program & Marketing at PAARD.

This Is Spinal Tap is een mockumentary over de fictieve Britse heavy metalband Spinal Tap tijdens hun comebacktour in de Verenigde Staten. Terwijl een documentairemaker hun reis vastlegt, krijgt de band te maken met afnemende populariteit, rampzalige optredens en absurde tegenslagen—van haperende podiumdecoraties tot creatieve spanningen. Met droogkomische humor en satirisch commentaar op de rockwereld laat de film de opkomst en ondergang zien van een band die zichzelf bloedserieus neemt—ondanks dat alles hilarisch misgaat.
De film zal worden ingeleid door Joeri Gordijn, Hoofd Programma & Marketing van PAARD.
