Director Christopher Guest reunites the team from Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman to tell the story of ’60s-era folk musicians who reunite for a memorial concert in New York City. In anticipation of Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, QFT revisits some of Guest's iconic work. Screening in 35mm.
Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara are Mitch and Mickey, once the sweethearts of folk music until their bitter separation; Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer are classic folk trio The Folksmen; and Parker Posey, John Michael Higgins and Jane Lynch anchor a colour-coordinated, harmonising “neuftet”– The New Main Street Singers.
Joining the musicians are Bob Balaban, Ed Begley Jr., Jennifer Coolidge, Paul Dooley, Michael Hitchcock, Don Lake, Larry Miller, Jim Piddock, Deborah Theaker and Fred Willard, who all work to revive folk music in this uniquely touching comedy.
"The sweetest and funniest of Guest's true-life fake-umentaries." TIME Magazine
