A Mighty Wind
When folk icon Irving Steinbloom passed away, he left behind a legacy of music and a family of performers he has shepherded to folk stardom. To celebrate a life spent submerged in folk, Irving's loving son Jonathan has decided to put together a memorial concert featuring some of Steinbloom's best-loved musicians. There's Mitch and Mickey, who were the epitome of young love until their partnership was torn apart by heartbreak; classic troubadours The Folksmen, whose records were endlessly entertaining for anyone able to punch a hole in the center to play them; and The New Main Street Singers, the most meticulously color-coordinated "neuftet" ever to hit an amusement park. Now for one night only in New York City's Town Hall, these three groups will reunite and gather together to celebrate the music that almost made them famous.

A mock documentary that captures the style and the sound of the past, when folk was, briefly, pop; its tone is too genial for effective satire.

Smiles all round
With 'A Mighty Wind' Christopher Guest takes a gentler look at his subject than in 2000's wickedly sharp 'Best in Show'.

Being new to these productions I thought at first that it was a real life documentary. It isn't, but it's a brilliant production. It's well worth ... read more »
