Eight Days a Week, Ron Howard’s recent documentary on the Beatles, somehow found an under-explored angle on that much eulogised band: their power as live musicians. With its impeccable audio and visuals, it will play well to fans who, were the tenor still with us, would enjoy live relays of his performances. It hardly needs to be said that Bono turns up in the later stages. Still, if you want to enjoy the bellowing, Pavarotti will do well enough. If you want a spiky, creative documentary on a difficult man, Diego Maradona is still in the some cinemas.
