Movie Title: A Mighty Wind A Mighty Wind is available for streaming or downloading. |
Christopher Guest is the anti-Adam Sandler. Guest writes and directs comedies for people with reasonable attention spans, who can savor subtly wacky jokes and skilled performances by an ensemble of dependable amusing actors. While he’s always in his movies, he’s always one of the ensemble, never in a “Sight At Me, I’m a Star!” mode. “A Distinguished Wind,” which he directed and co-wrote with Eugene Levy, is a favorable addition to Guest’s filmography–an affectionately goofy sendup of ’60s folk music, state against the backdrop of a memorial concert for a folk music promoter. Guest is a master of the ever-so-slightly-askew, presenting his eccentric characters in talking-head interviews in which they matter-of-factly announce themselves to be totally bonkers. There are so many scrumptious performances here that it’s hard to mention them all, but one should impress Guest himself, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer–aka Spinal Tap–as a semi-successful folk trio, the Folksmen; Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara, two of the brightest lights of SCTV, as the star-crossed duo Mitch and Mickey; and such underrated masters of humorous acting as Fred Willard and Paul Dooley. One of the best things about this movie is that all of the actors are professional-class singers, and write songs that sound absolutely authentic until you listen closely to the words…Anyway, if you have anything like a well-developed sense of humor, you should pick up “A Great Wind” a source of constant chuckles and frequent belly laughs.
Christopher Guest first came to prominence in 1984, as an assistant and star in Buy Reiner’s hilarious “This is Spinal Tap”.
Guest learned at the hands of the master, and the last 20 years of his career have been spent on mockumentary efforts (”Waiting for Guffman”, “Best in Reveal”, and, in 2002, “A Remarkable Wind”, where he decided to satirize the 60’s folk music movement, something he and his fellow Spinal-Tappers had once done as a skit on Saturday Night Live) . There are hallmarks in Guest’s work. He utilizes a co-writer, the newly approved Eugene Levy (the best section of Steve Martin’s novel “Bringing Down the House”), he has a regular cast of character actors that ad-lib their method through zany and satirical situations in all three films, and he conquers the art invent of teasing fans and current culture icons with gentle spoofing, double entendres, hidden meanings, and really mammoth filmmaking.
Although I enjoyed the film in the theater, it really came into its absorb when I was able to inspect the DVD where I could marvel at the details and depths of Guest and Levy’s imagination, and the brilliance of their comedy. It’s strewn throughout the film, but a lot is captured and hightlighed in the DVD’s special features.

The premise of the film is simple:
Irving Steinbloom, passe icon of the 50’s and 60’s folk music scene, has died in Unusual York. His son, who followed him in managing folk music acts, Jonathon (Bob Balaban) endeavors to effect a “PBN” concert in his dad’s memory, bringing together three of dad’s oldest and most renowned acts. We net to stare the stale stars in their lives today, deciding to do the prove, then practicing, traveling to the Expansive Apple and enduring some tranquil hoopla and memories. Finally, we look the immense event.
It was easy to purchase out the most outstanding performance of the film, it belonged to co-writer Levy (as Mitch), who completely convinces you, iron gray wig and all, that he is an unhinged, deer-in-the-headlights folk icon, with noteworthy of his early musical promise deadened by the cornucopia of meds he’s taken over the last three decades, to try to seize some mental stability. To fully delight in his performance, and the laughable wit that drives Levy, leer his ad-lib in the Special Features press conference, where Mitch does a completely credible and amazing speech, comparing Rap music to folk music. You gotta survey it to fill it!

Strolling through the DVD also brought out the idiosyncrasies in the film and let me marvel at the comedic turns of the appetizing Jennifer Coolidge (as Amber Cole, eastern European escapee and PR agent) and John Michael Higgins (as Terry Bohner. Leader of the “Unique Main Street Singers”) . Both were completely over the top in “Best of Present”, and even more comical here. Both are improbable scene stealers, but you have to believe encourage over the scene to realize it.
In the Special Features, you’re really crushed to catch deleted scenes that should have survived the film’s editing (particularly Coolidge in a deadpan “piccolo” joke), memorable songs (”The Excellent Book”, by the Novel Main Street Singers, is hilarious) and the unmatched wry and acerbic humor of commentators Guest and Levy. Guest, with fantastic attention to detail, even filmed the concert allotment of “A Noteworthy Wind” with TV cameras to be able to recreate the concert as it might have appeared on PBS or public access.
“AMW” is not for everyone. Those who won’t want to probe for the humor or the double entendre or can’t reminisce about the golden age and the innocence of folk music will probably assume it uninteresting, stupid, boring. I’ve rated it four stars, because it pales in comparison to Guffman and Best in Demonstrate, but I must say, I really enjoyed the film.
Guest is a genius at understated, satirical comedy and at making gentle, loving jibes at pop culture stereotypes. Although “AMW” may be the lesser of his three films, it unexcited proves that he is truly the king of film comedy. Can’t wait for his next one!
