The Big Picture

Director: Christopher Guest, Christopher Guest

1989 / 100min / 35mm

“The Big Picture is a hysterical, timeless, and spot on satire of the entertainment industry—and a great lesson in staying true to oneself. Absolutely brilliant, I make reference to it often.” —Victoria Ashley, Metrograph Events team

Arch-satirist Guest’s directorial debut plunges naïve aspiring filmmaker Kevin Bacon into the hellmouth of Hollywood, where oddball agent Martin Short lands him a studio deal and launches him on a hystericalc rollercoaster ride through a cutthroat industry where you’re only as good as your last lunch meeting.
