Backbeat is an energetic musical drama about the pre-fame Beatles as they journey to Hamburg in search of success. As their popularity grows, the "fifth Beatle," Stuart Sutcliffe, faces a difficult choice between his love, his friendship with John Lennon, and his place in the band. With a soundtrack featuring music from Dave Grohl, David Pirner, and Mike Mills, Backbeat is a thrilling, raucous spectacle. In our Listen To The Movie series, local musician Rob Cavenagh leads a post-film Q&A, exploring the soundtrack that defines the film.
