Beatlemania Is Back in ‘TWST – Things We Said Today,’ but Don’t Expect Another Pop-Music Doc (EXCLUSIVE)


Beatlemania is back in ‘TWST – Things We Said Today’ by Andrei Ujica, premiering Out of Competition at Venice Film Festival.

The Beatles weren’t the first – before, people talked about ‘Lisztmania’ [directed toward Hungarian composer Franz Liszt] and when Sinatra was singing, women would faint by the rows,” Ujică says. Produced by Ronald Chammah for Les Films du Camélia, Ujică for Modern Electric Pictures and Anamaria Antoci for Tangaj Production, it’s voiced by Tommy McCabe, Thérèse Azzara, Shea Grant and Sarah McCluskey.
