The Hours and Times [DVD]

Product Description In 1963, just months before Beatlemania swept the world, John Lennon and the Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein, took a four day vacation together in Barcelona. They were there to relax after a grueling series of concerts, but the trip remained charged with an unspoken tension. Those four emotional days are embodied in The Hours and Times, a flight of imagination that evokes the complex relationship between Lennon and Epstein. Candid, intelligent, and loaded with backstage conjecture, the movie captures masterfully the fleeting moments of their intense friendship before celebrity washed over intimacy. Review "The best American indie in many, many years." --Village Voice "An impressive display...highly polished." --Los Angeles Times "A sharp, concise, evocative film." --The New York Times
