John Lennon and Yoko Ono‘s iconic love story will be explored in an intimate new documentary title One to One. The film will be screening exclusively in IMAX on April 11th.
Directed by Kevin Macdonald, One to One centers around Lennon’s only full-length show after leaving the Beatles. He and Ono put on the One to One benefit show at Madison Square Garden on August 30th, 1972. The film explores the 18 months leading up to the show, when the couple shared an apartment in Greenwich Village and found themselves heavily immersed in American television.
As seen in the film’s trailer, Macdonald pulls heavily from archival footage of the couple during this time. Alongside never-before-seen footage, One to One features newly remixed and produced music by the couple’s only son together Sean Ono Lennon.
One to One was first announced last May and premiered at the Venice Film Festival in August. It was also an official selection at Sundance earlier this year.
One to One is not the only new documentary to chronicle the couple’s relationship and politics in the early Seventies. Daytime Revolution was released in October and took a close look at their residency on The Mike Douglas Show in 1972 where the invited guests like Ralph Nader, George Carlin, Yippie founder Jerry Rubin and Black Panther Bobby Seale to join them on-air.
