Synopsis

Smell the glove. Smell the 4K. Smell the comedy classic. 🎸

THIS IS SPINAL TAP is remixed, remastered, and re-releasing on the big screen for a limited time starting August 7.

In 1982, the legendary English heavy metal band Spinal Tap attempt an American comeback tour accompanied by a fan who is also a film-maker. The resulting documentary, interspersed with powerful performances of Tap's pivotal music and profound lyrics, candidly follows a rock group heading towards crisis, culminating in the infamous affair of the eighteen-inch-high Stonehenge stage prop.

Directed by Rob Reiner and starring Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer and Bruno Kirby, THIS IS SPINAL TAP is regarded as one of the greatest 'mockumentaries' of all time.

Don’t miss this big screen event – featuring a special message from director Marty DiBergi and an exclusive sneak peek at SPINAL TAP II: THE END CONTINUES.

Screening at Luna Leederville.

A picture of Spinal Tap in front of the Esperance Stonehenge, the text says - Spinal Tap in Esperance ?

TO THE GOOD PEOPLE OF ESPERANCE

First, allow us to acknowledge the obvious: Esperance is stunning. With its spectacular beaches, unique wildlife, and unshakable charm, it’s a place that doesn’t do things by halves. So, it’s no surprise that it’s also home to one of the most extraordinary landmarks in the world: the only life-size replica of the Stonehenge.

Yes — life-size.

Not a tourist trap. Not an artist’s impression.

The real deal, in granite.

 Now, as fans of the legendary band Spinal Tap, we’ve long carried a heavy burden: the injustice of their infamous undersized Stonehenge prop — a mere 18 inches tall, that’s 45 centimetres folks.

But now… Esperance, you have the chance to make it right.

With the rerelease of This is Spinal Tap and long-awaited sequel, This Is Spinal Tap II on the horizon, we humbly propose the most logical, poetic, and gloriously unnecessary idea ever conceived:

Spinal Tap: Live at Esperance Stonehenge

One night only. No mistakes in scale. Amps set to eleven.

So we ask you:

Will you answer the call of destiny and help us call on Spinal Tap to play at the Esperance Stonehenge in Western Australia?

So Esperance friends, please share the word, tag your friends,
tag Spinal Tap @spinaltap and
tag Luna Palace Cinemas @lunapalacecinemas

Let’s make history,

Reviews

Blending the earnest hagiography of Martin Scorsese’s "The Last Waltz" with the irreverent satire of Eric Idle’s "The Rutles: All You Need Is Cash," Reiner’s ingenious bit of alchemy yields, some argue, the greatest rock and roll film ever made.

★★★★★ This Is Spinal Tap is the funniest film ever made.
