《一周八天:披头士的巡演时代》记录的是披头士的“红色专辑”年代1963-1966。这段时间是披头士全世界巡演时代,也是披头士最辉煌的年代,“众筹”作品,大部分电影素材来自于网络。导演从2003年就开始搜集素材,除了来自地方电视台和档案机构,还来自上百位披头士粉丝、个人收藏者和非法偷录者。影像涵盖了这一时期披头士乐队的每一场重要演出,包括最著名的1965年谢亚球场演唱会和1966年的最后一次巡演。In the 1960s, the Beatles exploded on to the public scene, seemingly out of nowhere as the band's formative years of constant performing at home and in Hamburg, and Brian Epstein's grooming, finally paid off beyond their wildest dreams. Accompanying new interviews of the remaining Beatles, their associates and fans as well as archival interviews of the late ones, this film features footage of the heady concert years of 1963 to 66 when the band became a worldwide cultural phenomena topping them all. Furthermore, it also follows how the Fab Four began to change and grow while the excitement of Beatlemania began to sour their lives into an intolerable slog they needed to escape from to become more than what their fans wanted.
