Editorial DVD Review
[Top]
Ian Harts second performance as John Lennon commands attention in this marvellous musical bio of the Beatles in Hamburg directly before their stardom. The focus is on the 5th Beatle Stuart Sutcliffe , a bluesy bass guitar player who finds Germany has more interesting things than music. The woman, Astrid , chronicles the early years of the Beatles & shefalls in love with Stuart, a move that would influence many aspects of the Fab Four. Nearly overpowering the film is Hart in a great, energized performance of an artist on fire. The music was adapted for the movie, rediscovering the raw sound & ballistic energy in the back street clubs. These scenes of rock & genius intermixed with a nervy lead singer evoke similarities to Kurt Cobain & Nirvana. Backbeat is directed by Iain Softley.
