Size: Hardcover
This concise yet comprehensive study explores the emblematic journey by four young men from Liverpool from the epicentre of teen-led youth culture to the experimentation of the counterculture and beyond.
Beginning with the celebration of Britain’s own ‘youthquake’ in the joyous and genre-shifting
A Hard Day’s Night
(1964), the author delves into how the Beatles’ film work allows us to chart their subsequent musical maturation and retreat from the tribulations of stardom in
Help!
, their tentative attempts at improvised filming in the televised
Magical Mystery Tour
(1967), their acceptance of cartoon representations as leaders of the hippie counterculture in
Yellow Submarine
(1968), and the final implosion of their musical dynamic in the recording studios of
Let It Be
(1970). The book analyses how, as they grew with their fanbase, the Beatles’ films alternate stylistically between mimetic representation and allegorical interpretation, and switch narratively between fan-filled and welcoming worlds, to films relaying introspection and isolation.
Offering an in-depth case study of the successes and failures of British youth culture in a volatile decade,
The Beatles and Film
is an engaging text for both scholars and general readers alike.
