2022•1h 30m•8.0•Released
Documentary
Everyone knows the story of The Beatles, few tell know the one of Dezo Hoffmann. However, fate arranged it so that their life paths crossed at the most fortunate time. They stood on the brink of worldwide fame, he was in his fifties, when many already think of leaving the scene. Their energy, freedom and joy of life enchanted him fully. They rejuvenated him, he was bursting with ideas and did what he knew best - he photographed. He took more pictures of the Beatles than anyone else, recording all the significant events of their dazzling career. And not only them. His photographs of the famous show business stars have become iconic images full of life, spontaneity and movement. And although he created one of the world's most fascinating archives of the pop scene, few knew that his unique photographic manuscript was backed by years of experience as a war cameraman, where slowness and hesitation had no place because every mistake was expensive.
