Spinal Tap – Hei me rokataan!

This Is Spinal Tap (1984) is the best rock movie in the world. Spinal Tap's David St. Hubbins, Derek Smalls, and Nigel Tufnel let director Martin Di Bergi document their world tour and reveal what happens behind the scenes of a world-class rock show. The film delves into the inner lives of rock stars, sharing their perspectives on life. The challenges of show business also test the stars struggling with the pressures of fame: the members have musical disagreements, the stage props malfunction, drummers keep dying, and popularity fluctuates.

Now is a good moment to review Spinal Tap's history, as the soon-to-be-released sequel Spinal Tap 2 continues on the path laid by its predecessor and is about to reshape the rock movie genre once again. So far, film history has known only one, and traditions should be upheld at least until the sequel.
