The Rutles

The Rutles

1978

A mockumentary following the rise and fall of the Rutles, a fictional British pop group whose career eerily mirrors that of The Beatles, told through mock archive footage, interviews, and original comic songs. Co-directed by Eric Idle and Gary Weis, this affectionate parody remains a cult favourite.
