A 'typical' day in the life of the Beatles, including many of their famous songs.
Of its time, sure, but eternally entertaining.
Make a date to catch this on the big screen and be rewarded with pure magic.
A Hard Day's Night looks chaotic and slapdash enough (and just occasionally, for me, depressing enough) to count as an experimentalist or underground movie.
As invigorating and funny now as it was on its original release half a century ago, A Hard Day’s Night offers both a perfect showcase for the Beatles and an intriguing snapshot of fast-changing, early-1960s British society.
Funny, ramshackle nonsense. But a true one-of-a-kind.
Lester combines the slapstick comedy of silent cinema with the dazzle of the French New Wave in a film that almost defines the energy and spirit of the Swinging Sixties.
Those old enough to remember can take the opportunity to relive their childhood dreams, while younger viewers should prepare to be baffled and amazed.
