Description

This award-winning BBC documentary, broadcast in a truncated version on A&E, sensitively explores the life and times of the man whose main claim to fame was discovering The Beatles. From his NEMS record store in Liverpool, Epstein was a synthesizing force in the group's breakthrough to stardom. Devout Judaism and a fear of loneliness are two significant characteristics of the tall, handsome, fastidiously elegant, and temperamental man described as a manipulative puppeteer and an unhappy person. Epstein's open homosexuality is described in depth as Paul McCartney candidly acknowledges that initially the four "boys" were afraid that Epstein might hit on one of them, then proceeds to offer his personal opinion of the "John thing." Other talking heads include Marianne Faithfull, Epstein's aunt, and many friends and business associates. Rare archival footage combined with contemporary shots vividly evoke a sense of the exciting Beatles era, while Jude Law, reading from Epstein's diary, provides intimate insight into this complicated man who wrestled with demons until his life abruptly ended.
