A Mighty Wind

Improv comedy at its best: subtle, hilarious, excruciating and affecting in equal measure. And you'll be quoting it for years.

What you can count on is a lot of eccentric, self-absorbed characters, like the band members who worship the awesome and vibratory power of colour; a riotously self-confident idiot played by Fred Willard...

Christopher Guest's new mockumentary is about a reunion of three groups from the 1960s folk boom [...] and [...] does for aging folkies what Rob Reiner's This Is Spinal Tap did for aging heavy metal fans.

A Mighty Wind follows a collection of outsiders who are drawn together by their participation in a communal art form. However [...], the characters are less than adept at their “art,” and less than aware of their own mediocrity.

...amusing and frequently hilarious...
