This book offers the first major study of mock-documentary. The authors examine the relatively new form along with the association between factual codes and conventions, and the discourses which underpin the genre. The analysis includes detailed explorations of Woody Allen's "Zelig," Peter Greenaway's "The Falls," the Beatles' spoof "The Rutles" as well as "Bob Roberts," "This is Spinal Tap, " and "Man Bites Dog."
