Description
[Machine Translation] Nominated for two Emmy Awards (Editing and Sound Mix). This moving film has been called John Lennon's masterpiece of documentary filmmaking. Long-awaited Blu-ray re-release on the 80th anniversary of John Lennon's birth. A life of unprecedented intensity. If you're going to kick me out, I'll go on a rampage. The Statue of Liberty beckons. It's a great city, New York City. -John Lennon -- The city where "John of the Beatles" reclaimed "John Lennon," the city he loved most in his life, and the city where he took his life, New York City is the key word in this definitive film on John's later life. With the full cooperation and supervision of Yoko Ono, the film follows the nine years he spent in New York from September 1971 to December 1980, not only through interviews with John himself, but also through the latest interviews with Yoko and Elton John, as well as with his trusted producer Jack Douglas, the musicians with whom he worked, and his friends. The film vividly reveals John's life through the testimonies of those who were truly close to him, including his trusted producer Jack Douglas, the musicians with whom he worked, and his friend and cameraman Bob Groen. John, who was fed up with the turmoil over the Beatles' breakup and the Yoko-bashing that occurred through peace activities such as John and Yoko's bedding-in, moved to New York, a city that reminded him somewhat of his hometown of Liverpool. The country is in the middle of the Vietnam War, and an anti-war movement that repeatedly clashes violently spreads, and John is caught up in the movement. John's actions, which had a great influence on the youth, provoked the government to order his deportation and a lengthy court battle ensued. Later, John and his friends supported the presidential candidate who lost the election, which was a political setback for John and his friends. John moved to Los Angeles, where he lived a rough life, but after a reunion at an Elton John concert, they reconciled, and with the birth of their long-awaited child, John became a househusband and a stay-at-home dad. These turbulent times are brought to life through numerous unreleased private videos, charity concerts, the "One to One Concert," the most productive live performance of his solo career, and a wealth of footage from the TV shows in which he actively appeared. Returning to the musical arena, the film shows how John was full of energy and had many plans, including his first tour. Never before has a film followed the life of a solo John in such detail and in its entirety. Yoko's affair and separation, which she would have preferred not to be mentioned, are also discussed, as well as previously unreleased takes and demo tracks of songs from albums made during that period, which are also shown. Directed by Michael Epstein, who directed the highly acclaimed "The Battle Over Citizen Kane". Produced by Jessica Levin of "Bob Dylan: No Direction Home" and "Annie Leibovitz: Life Behind the Lens," among others. This is a film that simulates the experience of living in the 70's next to John. A must-see for all Beatles fans, John fans, and anyone who wants to know what was going on in that era.
