THE BEATLES: GET BACK

Director: Peter Jackson
Starring: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Michael Lindsay-Hoggm, Yoko Ono, Linda McCartney

There’s no shortage of footage of The Beatles from any moment in their career, and yet, Oscar-winning director Peter Jackson has made the new documentary The Beatles: Get Back a riveting, probing look at the Fab Four. It was early January 1969 and the Beatles hadn’t performed live together in nearly two years but were set to record a new live album and a TV special. They were on a tight schedule with merely two weeks to write and record 14 new songs and film this TV special as Ringo Starr was set to start production on a movie that happened to be shooting in the studio they were using. Despite their career and their catalog of hits, it was a rocky couple of weeks as tension rose between everyone involved. All three parts are now streaming on Disney+
