Michael Lindsay-Hogg, the director of The Beatles‘ Let It Be film, has said he “doesn’t care” that Ringo Starr isn’t a fan of the documentary.
Released in 1970, the project captured the Fab Four during recording sessions for their 12th studio album – also titled ‘Let It Be’ – and drew particular attention to heated exchanges between Paul McCartney and George Harrison.
Fifty-five hours of unseen footage from the Let It Be shoot – as well as 140 hours of audio – was repurposed by Peter Jackson for his forthcoming The Beatles: Get Back documentary, which arrives in the UK on November 25 via Disney+.
During a new interview with Rolling Stone, Lindsay-Hogg responded to Starr’s admission that he “didn’t feel any joy in the original” film. The drummer described the project as “miserable” and criticised it for focusing “on one moment between two of the lads [McCartney and Harrison]”.
