Displaying the simultaneously ridiculous and insidious nature of politics, Bob Roberts is a mockumentary written and directed by Tim Robbins.

Robbins

More famous as an actor and Susan Sarandon's husband, Robbins also wrote and directed Bob Roberts (1992), a hilarious poison-pen portrait of a folk singing conservative politico on the campaign trail, and Dead Man Walking (1995), a film about capital punishment that suggested, to universal acclaim, that executing even very, very guilty murderers is an act that demands reflection.
