Bob Roberts - [DVD]

A timely satire of '90s politics and Yuppie conservatism from writer/director Tim Robbins, who stars in the title role of a right wing folksinger and senatorial candidate who mixes Bob Dylan with William F. Buckley and uses the TV cameras following him on the campaign trail to his own advantage. Ray Wise, Alan Rickman, Gore Vidal, Rebecca Jenkins, and Giancarlo Esposito also star, with cameos from several of Robbins' Hollywood cronies. 102 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English. Region Free
