As a seasoned film critic with a deep-rooted love for cinema and an even deeper admiration for the works of Martin Scorsese, I can confidently say that the maestro is about to embark on yet another captivating journey with ‘Beatles ’64’. With his unparalleled knack for storytelling and his undying devotion to The Beatles, Scorsese is the perfect guide to delve into the Fab Four’s historic landing in America.
As a dedicated admirer, I’m thrilled to share that legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese is immersing himself once more in the captivating realm of The Beatles. Instead of focusing on a specific member this time, he’s decided to delve into the entire Fab Four saga with the upcoming documentary titled ‘Beatles ’64’. This intriguing piece will debut on Disney+ on November 29, offering an in-depth look at their incredible journey to America, culminating in their iconic performance on The Ed Sullivan Show. Interestingly, this isn’t Scorsese’s first foray into Beatles documentaries; back in 2011, he delved into the life story of one of its members with the film ‘George Harrison: Living in the Material World’.
As a passionate movie enthusiast, I can’t help but share my excitement about “Beatles ’64,” a captivating documentary that takes us back to the iconic moment when John, Paul, George, and Ringo, the fab four themselves, set foot in New York City for their historic performance on The Ed Sullivan Show. This groundbreaking event saw them play five songs that would forever alter the landscape of music.
73 million viewers tuned in for The Beatles’ historic performance on The Ed Sullivan Show, setting a television record at the time. This iconic event is often seen as a pivotal moment in American music, marking the start of both Beatlemania and the British Invasion – a period when UK bands significantly influenced the counterculture in the U.S. throughout the 1960s. Given its significance in art history, Martin Scorsese, one of the greatest filmmakers ever and an ardent fan of The Beatles, is the perfect choice to portray this momentous occasion.
From Rock ‘n Roll to Catholicism: Is There Anything Scorsese Can’t Do?
This year, Martin Scorsese won’t just release Beatles ’64 as a documentary, but also plans to explore the subject of Catholicism through Martin Scorsese Presents: The Saints. This eight-part docudrama is scheduled for release on Fox Nation in 2024 (an exact date hasn’t been announced yet), and it will delve into the lives of well-known Catholic figures like Francis of Assisi, John the Baptist, and Mary Magdalene, who were all recognized as saints within the Christian faith.
It’s a testament to the versatility of Scorsese, who might be known as one of the greatest directors of crime dramas, but isn’t afraid to get into heftier topics such as the life of the aforementioned saints, as well as Fran Lebowitz, and the history of the New York Review of Books, all of which he’s explored in previous documentaries. Look for Beatles ’64 to hit Disney+ on November 29.
