Chris Burden s’est fait un nom dans les annales de l’histoire de l’art en réalisant des exploits physiques qui laisseront vos mains devant vos yeux. Il pousse les limites de son corps et de son esprit au non de l’art et non de la magie. Une fois, on lui a tiré dessus, puis on l’a électrocuté, enfermé dans un casier pendant cinq jours et crucifié à l’arrière d’une Volkswagen. Et ce n’est que le début de son évolution en tant qu’artiste. Burden a été amené à étendre ses curiosités artistiques en créant des installations et des sculptures, d’un volant auto-tournant, à une installation de lumière antique à l’énergie solaire à l’extérieur du LACMA à Los Angeles. Les réalisateurs plongent profondément dans la vie et le travail follement excentriques de Burden en montrant un mélange de ses performances des années 70, des vidéos personnelles, des enregistrements audio, des interviews franches, couplé à ses pensées compliquées documentées au fil des années.

Thirty years after A Hard Day's Night, its producer, director, writer and others describe its making. United Artists Records came to Walter Shenson, asking him to produce a movie so UA could issue a soundtrack album. Shenson signed Lester to direct, and they got the Beatles to agree to star. Shenson sent Owen to Dublin to spend time with the Fab Four; from this came a script built around their being prisoners of their own success. Phil Collins, himself an extra on A Hard Day's Night, hosts this examination of a seminal film: what was ad-libbed, why was it a hit, what was its influence on other movies, and how did it define the way the public viewed each Beatle for years to come?
