"What makes you such an arsehole?"
Having just re-watched the Beatles output, I thought I'd look at some of the mythmaking films. First up - Backbeat, which covers the Beatles early years in Hamburg, prior to their fame, and specifically the relationship between John Lennon (Ian Hart) and Stuart Sutcliffe (Stephen Dorff), which fractures as Stu becomed attracted to Astrid Kirchherr (Sheryl Lee), and how her artistic eye influenced the look of the band.
Well crafted film, that plays with, and establishes the Hamburg era story for what was to become The Beatles.
