What is One to One: John & Yoko about?
The documentary primarily covers the 18 months from 1971 to 1973, during which the couple lived in New York City's Greenwich Village. At the time, John Lennon had left The Beatles, and there were many speculations about his wife's relationship with his former band.
Amid the chaos, he played his only full-length show, the One to One benefit concert at Madison Square Garden. As per Magnolia Pictures, during their time in the US, the couple consumed a lot of American television. The documentary uses 'riotous mélange of American TV' to showcase the era and how the events such as the Vietnam War, The Price is Right, Nixon, Coca-Cola ads, etc, affected their music.
"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."
One to One: John & Yoko features clips from the hit concert, as well as archival videos and recordings from the same period. The film offers a bold take on the time spent by two of history’s most influential artists.
Here's the official synopsis of the documentary:
"An expansive and revelatory inside look at John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s life in Greenwich Village in the early 1970s, ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO delivers an immersive cinematic experience that brings to life electrifying, never-before-seen material and newly restored footage of John and Yoko’s only full-length concert."
It continues:
"Featuring mind-blowing music newly remixed and produced by Sean Ono Lennon, the film is a seismic revelation that will challenge pre-existing notions of the iconic couple."
