One to One: John & Yoko (15)

From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald, One to One: John & Yoko is a revelatory inside look at John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s life in Greenwich Village.

On August 30, 1972, in New York City, John Lennon played his only full-length show after leaving The Beatles, the One to One Benefit Concert, a rollicking, dazzling performance from him and Yoko Ono. Director Kevin Macdonald’s riveting documentary takes that epic musical event and uses it as the starting point to recreate eighteen defining months in the lives of John and Yoko.

By 1971, the couple was newly arrived in the United States, watching a huge amount of American television: the Vietnam War, The Price is Right, Nixon, Coca-Cola ads, Cronkite and The Waltons. As they experience a year of love and transformation in the US, John and Yoko begin to change their approach to protest, ultimately leading to the One to One concert, which was inspired by a Geraldo Rivera exposé they watched on TV.

Filmed in a meticulously faithful reproduction of the NYC apartment the duo shared, One to One: John & Yoko also includes a wealth of never-before-seen material, including home movies and numerous phone call recordings of John and Yoko to offer a unique take on a seminal time in the lives of one of music’s most famous couples. The film features music from John and Yoko's only full-length concerts that have been newly remixed and produced by Sean Ono Lennon. 

Please note: There will be a Dementia Friendly screening on Thu 5 Jun.
