What if you woke up one day and nobody in the world could remember the Beatles except you? That is the premise of Yesterday (2019), the film that united two of British cinema’s biggest names, director Danny Boyle’s and screenwriter Richard Curtis. With the Fab Four’s entire songbook at his disposal, can struggling singer-songwriter Jack Malick finally make it big? 

Stephen Graham, musicologist based at Goldsmiths and author of Becoming Noise Music, joins to discuss the film.
