Michael Lindsay-Hogg:
When we first met, he said: “Tell me the story of ‘Let It Be.’ Why do I have all this footage?”
And then I told him about what had happened. And he said: “So if you weren’t involved, ‘Let It Be’ would really have been an orphan.” And I’d never heard of anyone use that word for this movie, because it was an orphan, because I have always been trying to protect it. It’s a very, very affectionate picture.
It’s basically a story about four men who loved each other and had loved each other since they were in their teens who’d had the most extraordinary early youth together, when they — the world blew up and showered them with all the glories of the world, but who now were aiming toward their 30s, and they were — had different expectations, different ambitions.
And it was really — it’s really about how they were making that transition, which is what I hope people will see when it comes out again.
