The Hours and Times (1991)

The Hours and Times: Directed by Christopher Munch. With David Angus, Ian Hart, Stephanie Pack, Robin McDonald. A fictionalized account of what may have happened when John Lennon and Brian Epstein went on holiday together to Spain in 1963.

“I saw this one in 1994 and I was under the impression. Contrary to one of the other comments, I found Ian Hartu0026#39;s impersonation of Lennon strong: witty, hurting and sensitive at times. The interaction between Epstein and Lennon in a strange pre-Beatlemania atmosphere was fascinating: BEA-aircompany, Lennon going to watch some Gaudis in Barcelona (did he really know Gaudi at that time ?), Lennon picking up a girl (stewardess on the flight). It seems far from the peace loving prophet a few years later. And still, I think, much closer to the u0026quot;realu0026quot; John Lennon. The beautiful Bach-score (Goldberg variations by Glenn Gould) offers an impressing undertone to this portrait, which looks like a forebode of the dramatic short lives of both protagonists.”
