Mercury Studios has announced a new feature documentary on John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
One to One: John & Yoko, a moving look at the couple’s life, was directed by Kevin Macdonald.
At the core of the story are the One to One Concerts, Lennon’s only full-length performances after The Beatles, accompanied by Ono, The Plastic Ono Band, Elephant’s Memory and special guests.
With remixed concert audio produced by Lennon’s son Sean Ono Lennon, the film features newly transferred and restored footage, as well as a wealth of previously unseen and unheard personal archives, such as phone calls and home movies recorded and filmed by John and Yoko themselves.
“I wanted to make a film that surprises and delights even the most dedicated Lennon and Ono fans by focusing on one transformative period in their lives and telling the tale through their own words, images and music,” said Macdonald. “Built around the beautiful 16mm film footage of the only full-length concert John gave after leaving the Beatles I hope the film will introduce the audience to a more intimate version of John and Yoko – while also reflecting their politically radical and experimental sides.”
Sean Ono Lennon says, “Kevin’s documentary brings completely fresh insight into my parents’ lives during their Bank Street and early New York years, showing first hand their unwavering dedication to promoting peace and non-violence during a turbulent era of unrest, corruption and unnecessary war.”
The film is produced by Mercury Studios and Plan B/KM Films.
