Let it Bethe documentary about the Beatles released shortly after the separation in 1970 of the band that revolutionized the music and embodied the rebellion of youth returned to screens yesterday, in a remastered version.
From the original 16 mm negative, the platform Disney+ managed to make this new version of the documentary, with the latest remastered sound, using mixing technology.
Filmed in January 1969, director Michael Lindsay-Hogg’s film contained moments of tensions and acrimony between John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison y Ringo Starr which eventually led them to disband.
“George couldn’t record many songs because John and Paul were so prolifically brilliant,” said Jonathan Clyde, head of the production company Apple Corps, founded by the Beatles themselves to pursue their interests.
“John had met Yoko (Ono) and he was making his own journey; “Paul was doing what he wanted and Ringo had started making movies,” Clyde added.
The film shows the Liverpool Quartet during rehearsals and recording sessions for the album Let It Beas well as the iconic unannounced 40-minute concert on the roof of his record company building across the street Savile Row in London.
More than half a century later, the film can be seen from a more objective perspective, as an invaluable record of the Beatles’ creative process. /AFP
