Felicity Beckett talks to co-director Sam Rice-Edwards about his new film, co-directed with Kevin McDonald, One To One: John & Yoko.
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 was 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.

Lucy Fenwick Elliott speaks to director François Ozon about his new film, When Autumn Falls, in cinemas now.
Loving grandmother Michelle is enjoying a peaceful retirement in a quiet Burgundy village, close to her best friend Marie-Claude. However, when her daughter Valérie drops off her grandson Lucas for their week together, everything begins to unravel.
As Michelle navigates the complexities of her strained relationship with Valérie, unexpected tensions arise—especially when Marie-Claude’s son, recently released from prison, enters the picture.
François Ozon's latest masterfully explores themes of youth and the challenges of ageing, placing two older women at the heart of the story. With an outstanding performance by Hélène Vincent, this richly textured film is both captivating and thought-provoking.
