Imagine there’s no Beatles. It’s easy if you try — even easier if you see “Yesterday.”
Jack Malik and his devoted friend Ellie in"Yesterday," directed by Danny Boyle. Photo credit: Jonathan Prime/Universal Pictures It’s easy if you try — even easier if you see “Yesterday,” a flight of pop culture fancy from “Trainspotting” and “Slumdog Millionaire” director Danny Boyle and “Four Weddings and a Funeral” screenwriter Richard Curtis, premiering May 5 at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York and opening in the U.S. on June 28.
Jack Malik faces the press for the launch of his debut album, flanked by his agent Debra in"Yesterday." “It’s like what Paul has said about [the song] ‘Yesterday’: he just woke up and played it, and for a long time he was certain he had stolen it because it came to him so fully formed, and seemed so familiar,” Boyle said. “He didn’t know how it arrived, but it is one of the world’s most perfect songs. We still don’t understand these things. Maybe it will all be revealed one day; maybe it won’t.
The film pokes fun in smart ways at record-industry cluelessness and rituals of music fandom, i.e., a couple that holds aloft a sign for “Summer Song,” the title of one of Malik’s dubious original compositions, in the midst of a throng of other fans singing along at the tops of their lungs while Jack powers out a punked-up version of “Help!”
That part of the story links “Yesterday” to Curtis’ previous scripts for such standout English romantic comedies as “Love Actually” and “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” while he also brings to bear the razor-sharp comic writing that has infused his work with Rowan Atkinson on his “Mr. Bean” TV series and two feature films.
