      The Beatles and India

      2021 1h 32m Documentary Music List
      Reviews 100% Fewer than 50 Ratings Audience Score The film is a unique historical chronicle of the enduring love affair between The Beatles and India that started more than half a century ago. Rare archival footage, photographs, eye-witness accounts and expert comments along with location shoots across India to bring alive the fascinating journey of George, John, Paul and Ringo from their high octane celebrity lives in the West to a remote Himalayan ashram in search of spiritual bliss that inspires an unprecedented burst of creative songwriting. It is the first serious exploration of how India shaped the evolution of the greatest ever rock band and their own pioneering role bridging two vastly different cultures across the universe.

      Pippa B An informative and at times amusing recap of the influence of India and its music on the Beatles, from George Harrison's friendship with sitar player Ravi Shankar, to the weeks-long stay of the group in an ashram in Rishikesh, the subsequent fall-out with Maharishi Mahesh, complete with a number of historical cameos, including for instance Timothy Leary, and Mia Farrow and her sister (whose refusal to leave her meditation space apparently inspired Dear Prudence) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
