DOGWOOF Announce UK release date for Kevin Macdonald’s electrifying new documentary ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO

DOGWOOF ANNOUNCE UK RELEASE DATE FOR KEVIN MACDONALD’S REVELATORY AND ELECTRIFYING NEW DOCUMENTARY ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO

Following critical acclaim at its World Premiere at the Venice Film Festival, Dogwoof is delighted to announce that ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO will preview exclusively in IMAX® on 9^th and 10^th April and opening in UK cinemas nationwide on 11^th April.

Directed by renowned British director Kevin Macdonald (Whitney, The Mauritanian) and co-directed and edited by Sam Rice-Edwards (Meet Me in the Bathroom, The Rescue), ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO delivers an immersive cinematic experience that brings to life electrifying, never-before-seen material and newly restored footage of Lennon’s only full-length, post-Beatles concert. With mind-blowing remastered audio overseen by their son, Sean Ono Lennon, the film is both compelling and bittersweet, challenging pre-existing notions of the iconic couple.

On August 30, 1972, in New York City, John Lennon played his only full-length show after leaving The Beatles, the One to One benefit concert at Madison Square Garden, a rollicking, dazzling performance from him and Yoko Ono. Macdonald’s riveting documentary takes that legendary musical event and uses it as the starting point to explore eighteen defining months in the lives of John and Yoko. By 1971 the couple had newly arrived in the United States— living in a tiny apartment in Greenwich Village and watching a huge amount of American television. The film uses a riotous mélange of American TV to conjure the era through what the two would have been seeing on the screen: the Vietnam War, The Price is Right, Nixon, Coca-Cola ads, Cronkite, The Waltons. As they experience a year of love and transformation in the US, John and Yoko begin to change their approach to protest — ultimately leading to the One to One concert, which was inspired by a Geraldo Rivera exposé they watched on TV. Filmed in a meticulously faithful reproduction of the NYC apartment the duo shared, ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO offers a bold new take on a seminal time in the lives of two of history’s most influential artists.

ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO is directed by Kevin Macdonald, edited & co-directed by Sam Rice-Edwards and produced by Peter Worsley, Kevin Macdonald and Alice Webb with Marc Robinson, David Joseph, Steve Condie, Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner as executive producers.
