Le documentaire légendaire Let It Be des Beatles revient en version remasterisée sur Disney+.
The Big Picture
Remastered release of ‘Let It Be’ on Disney+ highlights pivotal Beatles moments like the rooftop concert. The original documentary hinted at problems within the band that eventually led to their breakup. The re-release of ‘Let It Be’ coincides with a resurgence of Beatlemania, with more projects related to The Beatles in the works.
Rediscovering The Beatles
Released over 50 years ago, Let It Be chronicles a game-changing moment in The Beatles’ history. The movie centers around the production of the group’s twelfth and last studio album. Back when it first premiered, the documentary only hinted at problems between band members that would eventually lead them to break up. Now, with their story heavily documented and additional footage in other media, especially the Peter Jackson documentary The Beatles: Get Back, fans can spot pivotal moments in the 1970s documentary. Let It Be also features one of the most famous presentations from the band: The surprise rooftop concert that happened on January 30, 1969, in central London and took fans by storm. The concert became legendary not only due to its surprise factor but also because it was interrupted by the police due to a disturbance caused by keyboardist Billy Preston. It was also the final public performance of the group.
Beatlemania Is As Alive As Ever
The re-release of Let It Be is also a great way for fans to celebrate the additional Beatles material that is coming their way. Director Sam Mendes (Empire of Light) announced an ambitious four-movie biopic project that will tell the story of The Beatles from the POV of a different member in each movie. Even though there are several other movies that touch on George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr’s history, there’s a chance that the upcoming project becomes the definitive biopic of the group. Disney+ premieres Let It Be on May 8.
