SCREENING OF TIM ROBBIN’S DIRECTORIAL DEBUT, BOB ROBERTS.

The second film in our Swiss Spaghetti Harvest Festival; a season of films that blur the lines between fact and fiction.

Bob Roberts is a brilliant satirical mockumentary that perfectly parodies many well known documentary techniques to create a realistic, biting and funny satire of American politics, that, coming into our own elections many years after it was made, proves more ubiquitous in its bite than Robbins could have ever hoped.

‘Bob Roberts is not merely a satirical fictional biopic, but a wry exploration of the relationship between political reality and manufactured image, showing how far contemporary politics has been reduced by the media to the level of easy-to-handle entertainment.’

- TIME OUT

‘Funny, brilliant and sickening all at the same time.’
