QUANDOQUE DORMITAT BONUS Homerus
The following is the transcript of the review of Homero Alsina Thevenet the film "A Hard Day's Night" by Richard Lester, published in the newspaper El Pais in 1964. Go for our joint tribute to Lennon and HAT, decemberistas in death and most especially to the "Mondo Cane" in El País Cultural.
Perhaps this post is not about waiting HAT Hi way, but between hagiography so I preferred to remember that critical deserving to infallible and sharp eye for the flaws and omissions, as the great Greek poet, also dozed from time to time.

The four stooges
The Beatles are a bit better than the Old Wave suspected it to be recommending some mindedness to appreciate what they do. They are, of course, four long-haired extravagant, which are believed most important and entertaining, they develop a sense of humor worthy of the Three Stooges and have focused, inexcusably, accession hysterical and shouted to thousands of young girls teens, one of those cases of sublimated sexual impulse that became clearer after Freud. But they are also born four musicians who invent their own songs, interpreted variously with their voices, their guitars, harmonicas, drums and melodic invention, but show little direct and communicative sense of harmony and rhythm. Why both the little girl rave is something that has not been well explained, but it is expected that a joint study of contemporary adolescence, with support of James Dean, Elvis Presley and Palito Ortega, duly completed to include the Beatles. Disown them because they look cute and yet they are adored, would hide the problem.
There is no single argument in the film, which is only a journey of four train to a city where they will play a TV show. There are many setbacks along the way, one of four deviates wildly from the group, after several adventures the program are met on time, between little girl raving. The worst part of the film is the humor which these four lunatics shooting each other, in a spirit of slapstick and circus, with occasional pretense of wit ("And your hair is your name" - "Arthur") and an elementary approach will only laugh at the simplest. But instead there are many songs, sometimes facing the camera and sometimes as a background on the run, and with them the Beatles are in what they do best. Someday descrubrirá that these musicians would be some losers if they did all the additional noise and extravagant hairstyles.
The most positive part of this juvenile film camera work and layout. From a quick start, in which subjects are down the street pursued by a howling mob, to its final performance on stage, to a teenage audience raving with ecstasy, the Beatles are collected without apronte and quickly, in an impost quasi-documentary, with an agility no one would expect found in an account dedicated to four divas who sing.
