Free Classic Film Series at DPL: The Big Picture (1989)

Starring Kevin Bacon, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Emily Longstreth. Directed by Christopher Guest.

“The Big Picture, directed and co-written by Spinal Tap‘s Christopher Guest, looks at the industry from the perspective of a young, up-and-coming director having his first brush with success. Christopher Guest and co-writers Michael Varhol and fellow Spinal Tap-er Michael McKean have penned a hilarious satire on the development process (the time between a writer pitching a story to a studio and the completion of the final shooting script) that successfully captures how mindless studio executives manage to water down even the simplest of ideas.” – popmatters.com. 100 minutes. Rated PG-13.
