Sky Arte's 'Inseparabili' Explores Beatles Manager Brian Epstein
The new episode of the Sky Arte series 'Inseparabili ‒ Vite all’ombra del genio', hosted by Carlo Lucarelli, airs Tuesday, March 12, under the title 'Io sono i Beatles'. It focuses on Brian Epstein, who first heard the Beatles at age 28 while managing a record store, with a poor academic record and no prior experience with record labels. Despite this, he was certain he should become their manager. Epstein quickly transformed the four scruffy young men into the most successful group in music history. However, Epstein was a fragile young man who consumed large quantities of drugs to manage depression and paranoia. When the Beatles decided to stop performing live, he spiraled into an increasingly dark state, leading to a tragic end. The series is produced by Sky Arte, whose website is powered by Artribune, which handles content and digital interface.
