One to One: John & Yoko
Early on in One to One: John & Yoko, directed by Kevin Macdonald and co-director Sam Rice-Edwards, we hear audio of an interview given by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. It’s the early ‘70s, after The Beatles became the biggest band in the world, while their break-up is still fresh in everyone’s memory, and after Lennon and Ono had moved to Greenwich Village in New York City. During the interview, one caller replies that due to recent events, he sees John and Yoko as actual people.
But most striking is the footage of Lennon and Ono’s One to One Benefit Concert, the only full-length concert that Lennon put on after the breakup of The Beatles. Taking place in 1972 at Madison Square Garden, this concert is a lively, exciting performance through some of his most legendary hits, and includes guest stars like Allen Ginsberg and Stevie Wonder.
Posts Macdonald and Rice-Edwards also don’t mind showing the flaws of these two legends. Not all of their plans to make the world live as one completely work or even make sense. As we hear in one audio recording, John wants to tour and pay the bail of hundreds of people in jail at each stop. When the person he’s talking to mentions that most people aren’t in jail because of bail, John keeps powering forward on his ingenious idea, making the other person on the line relent.
