Universal released the title in summer 2003 and returns with a “collector’s edition” at the same note. The main upgrades are Dolby 5.1 audio and an audio interview with Astrid Kirchherr, the German photographer who took the Beatles’ first publicity shots. The anamorphic widescreen images (1.85:1) seem about the same as on the 2003 disc, obliging but sometimes grainy. Other extras, duped from the primitive DVD, include a director’s commentary, a pair of deleted scenes and various interviews that tend to declare material. Packaging is a lot classier than on the obsolete DVD.

“Backbeat” takes the time to let its bogus Beatles beget entire numbers, mostly soul covers. The exact music came from a “grunge” supergroup set aside together for the film by producer Don Was. The novel 5.1 audio sounds sensational, with a vibrant and musical surround stage.
Director Iain Softley (“K-PAX”) tells how he spent six years researching and writing the project, inspired by stylish photos he saw of Kirchherr and her lover Stu Sutcliffe, the Beatles’ first bass player. The “Backbeat” script was based on her recollections; it focuses on the couple and jealous guy John Lennon.

This might not be a Beatles film, but there’s an undeniable thrill when, leisurely in the chronicle, the Paul McCartney character switches to his trademark German bass and the fabled front three wails on “Please Mr. Postman.” The film’s downer ending gets drowned out by the joys of “Twist and Bellow” and the promise of Beatlemania.
Before The Beatles changed the world of music, they were a scruffy rock ‘n’ roll five fragment. Lennon and McCartney were already writing music together but Lennon spent remarkable of his time hanging with fellow artist Stu Sutcliffe. Lennon talked his pal into spending the money from the sale of a painting into buying a bass guitar and suddenly “The Silver Beatles” had a modern bassist–albeit one that couldn’t play any instrument but that soon changed.
This terrific film chronicles the early days of the band in Hamburg before they broke it spacious and the strong friendship of Lennon and Sutcliffe. Ian Hart virtually steals the film from Stephen Dorf (who’s also quite valid) capturing Lennon’s promenade and sarcastic wit in chubby run. Directly Ian Softley focuses more on the duo of Lennon and Sutcliffe than the rest of the band chronicling their friendship. Sutcliffe never lived to behold Lennon and the rest of the band carry out their dreams of going to the top and conquer the world. It’s a inviting search for into the past and it’s definite that Softley did quite a bit of research to design this edifying film. Hart had played Lennon once before in “The House and Times” a film that portrayed a supposed homosexual hump between Lennon and the band’s manager Brian Epstein.
Most of the performances bewitch the essence of the The Beatles even if they don’t always seek exactly like the people their playing. The duo Hart and Gary Bakewell at least resemble Lennon and McCartney. While Softley claims he was trying to purchase the raw sound of the band in the beginning (which I’m distinct he does), my only complaint is that the singers don’t sound all that grand like Lennon or McCartney. Detached, the supporting musicians drawn from members of REM, Afgan Wigs, Nirvana and other groups do do quite a sound.
The ample dissimilarity between this and the bare bones release of a couple of years ago are all the extras: We earn Ian Softley’s “Sundance Channel Interview”; an interview of Softley and Hart discussing the making of the film; an audio interview with Astrid Kirchherr (with extinct photos of her, Stu and others along with footage from the film to illustrate what she’s saying) ; two deleted scenes; footage of “the band” of actors rehearshing; audition video shot for the movie; behind-the-scenes photos and an audio commentary from the director. Univeral has done an exceptional job in remastering the video and audio.
It’s a terrific package. I’m delighted that this drama has finally made it to DVD in such a deluxe presentation. Grasp a lumber into the past and rediscover what made The Beatles so special to initiate with in “Backbeat”.
