Description:

Set against the kaleidoscopic backdrop of Swinging Sixties London, this stylish musical biopic explores the genius and demons of the trailblazing Jewish manager hailed as the “fifth Beatle.” Brian Epstein’s visionary efforts propelled The Beatles’ meteoric rise to global stardom, from smoky Liverpool clubs to dazzling performances that defined a generation. Amid the heady swirl of fame and ongoing cultural revolution, he navigated societal pressures, solitude, and the hidden struggles of life as a closeted gay man.

Presented in association with the 32nd Jewish Film Festival of Eastern Connecticut
