Not sleeping like a log.

Rating: 8/10 (28 September 2014)

There once was four lads who met each other, picked up musical instruments and created a phenomenon to the point that their influence is still being felt in the music industry today. This film is a day in the life of The Beatles, The Fab Four, The Mop Tops from Liverpool.
The soundtrack itself is enough to ensure that Richard Lester's film is something of a requisite for anyone interested in the history of Rock "N" Roll. As it happens, it lets the lads be loose and free, to get away with biting the hand that feeds them, with Lester using a whole bunch of film making techniques that wouldn't be out of place in some Pernod sodden production from an independent studio in the alleyways of Montmartre.
Slapstick, homage or just a chance for the lads to blow off steam without fear of repercussions? Either way, it rocks, wholesale. 8/10
