One to One: John & Yoko
The Beatles had broken up, so John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono moved to New York in the autumn of 1971, where they settled in a small flat in Greenwich Village. Apart from searching for Ono's lost daughter Kyoko, they watched a lot of television. They were not picky and consumed everything from news and commercials to TV series and game shows. A TV item about Willowbrook High School, a school for children with intellectual disabilities, made a deep impression and led to the legendary benefit concert One to One in 1972. For the first time, they performed together as equal artists.
In this film, Scottish director Kevin Macdonald recounts eighteen decisive months in the lives of John and Yoko using a wealth of previously unseen (and unheard) archive material. To make the home recordings realistic, he even had their apartment recreated in great detail. And of course there is music, remixed by their son Sean Ono Lennon.
