A great manifesto about love, peace, music, revolution. After its presentation at the Venice Film Festival and the Sundance Film Festival, Giunti Odeon now presents ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO, the docufilm by Oscar®-winning director Kevin Macdonald. It is the beginning of the 1970s and John Lennon and Yoko Ono leave the UK to move to New York: they are the golden couple of the counterculture, their political and social commitment is unceasing in those months, alongside the likes of Allen Ginsberg and Jerry Rubin, but they are also looking for Kyoko, their daughter Yoko, and are worried about FBI wiretaps. In their small flat, which has been faithfully reproduced for the film, the TV is the window on the world: images of the political and social scene with the horrors of the Vietnam War and the first cracks of Watergate chase each other across the screen, alternating with light-hearted advertising jingles, like forced smiles that are not enough to hide the discontent of the people rising up. Fascinated by an investigation into the children of Willowbrook State School, they organise the One to One Benefit Concert: two concerts held on 30 August 1972 (afternoon and evening) at New York's Madison Square Garden with Plastic Ono Elephant's Memory Band and which will remain Lennon's only complete live performance since the Beatles. The film combines live music, with audio from the One to One Benefit Concert remastered and produced by Sean Ono Lennon, and intimacy with never-before-seen home movies and numerous recordings of John and Yoko's phone calls with friends and associates, offering a unique perspective on a pivotal period in the lives of one of the most iconic couples in music history.
