* CultSoundtrack: The whole aim of the film soundtrack was to recapture the "punk" feel of the early Beatles rocking out in Hamburg early in their careers. So how do you do it properly? By getting Music/DaveGrohl, R.E.M's Mike Mills, [[Music/SonicYouth Thurston Moore]], [[Music/SoulAsylum David Pirner]], and other band members from Music/TheAfghanWhigs and Gumball to belt out old 50s standards with all the gusto they could muster.

A film about Music/TheBeatles in UsefulNotes/{{Hamburg}} -- but not simply that. If it were simply that, the first name listed in the opening credits would not be female.

It's ''really'' about the love affair between Astrid Kirchherr (Creator/SherylLee) and Stuart Sutcliffe (Creator/StephenDorff). Music/TheBeatles are just necessary for BackStory and conflict.

We start in Liverpool. Stuart Sutcliffe and Music/JohnLennon (Creator/IanHart) are at a club; Stu makes a nude sketch of the girl onstage. Some big men confront them. John and Stu leave the club, but the men follow, and we end up seeing Stu pounded heavily, his cranium taking the trauma. This will be important later.
