Bilkent Cinematics\u2019 last movie of the season will be the classic 1984 comedy This is Spinal Tap, held on Wednesday, April 26.<\/p>\n
Director Rob Reiner\u2019s \u2018mock rockumentary\u2019 follows a fictional British heavy metal band (\u201cone of England\u2019s loudest bands\u201d) as it goes on tour and tries to deal with conflicts among its members. Reiner\u2019s film was so authentic that, as he said, \u201cwhen Spinal Tap initially came out, everybody thought it was a real band\u2026\u201d The movie accurately but affectionately mocks the occasional silliness and pretentiousness of certain rock bands, in scenes that have become legend among fans of the movie. Tap is also famous for the fact that the actors (Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer) improvised much of the hilarious dialogue.<\/p>\n
The New York Times called This is Spinal Tap a \u201cwitty, mischievous satire,\u201d and critic Roger Ebert calls it \u201cone of the funniest movies ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n
Join Bilkent Cinematics at 6 p.m.,Wednesday, April 26th, in FFB06. Snacks and refreshments will be served, and Cinematics\u2019 movies are screened with English subtitles. Everyone is welcome.<\/p>\n
