Review: Beatles 64, Electric Dreams @ Tate Modern, The Agency
We review Beatles '64 as the fab four crack America, Electric Dreams at Tate Modern and Michael Fassbender's spy drama The Agency. Plus music inspired by artists Basquiat and Cage.
Samira Ahmed's joined by this week's critics - Louisa Buck and Matt Everitt - to review Beatles '64, documenting the fab four's first trip to America with previously unseen footage shot by pioneering brothers Albert and David Maysles.
They've also been to see Tate Modern's new exhibition Electric Dreams, exploring how artists were inspired to use machines and algorithms to create mind-binding art before the internet.
Plus the star-studded new TV spy drama The Agency - starring Michael Fassbender, written by Jez Butterworth and produced by George Clooney - and we hear about this year's Deep Time music festival, taking it's inspiration from an imagined meeting between Jean-Michel Basquiat and John Cage in Edinburgh.
