A captivating documentary about John Lennon and Yoko Ono's time in 1970s New York, and the Beatles star's final full-length performance + a short film from Women O>er 50 Film Festival.

The couple's stay at the Dakota in 1971 has received a lot of attention over the years, but Kevin Macdonald provides a fascinating insight into the iconic couple's headspace on the advent of this new era in their lives. 

Through faithful recreations of their apartment, recorded conversations with the singer-songwriter and accounts of pivotal friendships we see a portrait of two artists in flux . The real time performance Lennon's Maddison Square Garden concert on 30 August 1972 sees him balance late Beatles and solo tracks with an electrifying effect. 

This film will be accompanied by Looking for Barbara - a short film as part of Women O>er 50 Film Festival. A festival championing and showcasing the work of older women on screen and behind the camera.
