“It only means these youngsters are enjoying themselves”

My latest Secret Cinema column—which I should mention was at special request of Nathan Rabin—covers the Robert Zemeckis-directed I Wanna Hold Your Hand. It’s a fun, nostalgic look at Beatlemania and, I argue, one of several Zemeckis films that takes a fairly complex view of our relationship with the past. (Polar Express is not another one of them.)
