The best in cinema from the UK, Ireland, Australia, India, Canada and New Zealand
February 15-22, 2018
A Hard Day’s Night
A day in the life of the Fab Four—the opening chord once heard never forgotten, heralding for countless teenagers the start of the ‘60s. Unendingly magical, the film brims with irreverence, anarchy and comedic flare; a brilliant crystallization of cinéma vérité, documentary film, the pop movie, and rock ‘n’ roll. Shot in black and white and superbly directed by Richard Lester, Alun Owen’s script sparkles—as do John Lennon’s many adlibs. The songs of The Beatles are as fresh and uplifting as when first heard. “The ‘Citizen Kane’ of jukebox movies,” The Village Voice
UK, 1964 (87 minutes)
All Beatles movies will be introduced by Tony Broadbent, author of “The One After 9:09,” a mystery novel that tells of the early day of the Beatles and of the guidebook “From ‘Be-Bop-A-Lula’ to Beatlemania – The Beatles Early Years in Liverpool, Hamburg and London”
