BACKBEAT


Director: ILAIN, SOFTLEY(1993) 7.8

Review

Fascinating bio-pic on Lennon and Stuart Sutcliffe and
Beatles until just before international fame period.
Sutcliffe is a struggling, moody artist, not fully
committed to success of group, meets Astrid Kirschner in
Germany, and becomes more interested in her, and the world
of avant garde art. Not especially well-acted, but well
directed, honest, and interesting.
