Cinema 60s: A Hard Day's Night

(Great Britain; 1964; Richard Lester) is a legendary watermark in the rock musical genre. Using surreal and cinema vérité techniques in what is otherwise seemingly a film documentary; the film crystalized the public images of the fab four—John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr—in their run up to a British televised performance during the height of Beatlemania. Each song in the film’s soundtrack has become a bona fide rock classic despite the fact than not a single one of the songs was nominated for an Oscar or a Grammy or any other award—except, oddly, enough “Best Score (Adaptation).” Oh, yeah? Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
