Kevin Macdonald on One To One: John & Yoko — An Empire Podcast Interview Special

The Empire Film Podcast

Kevin Macdonald's latest documentary, One To One: John & Yoko, is out now in cinemas around the UK, folks, and it's well worth your time for anyone with even a passing interest in John Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono, and their lives after The Beatles split up. But if you're a Beatlemaniac, this is manna from heaven as it not only brings you remastered footage of the One To One benefit concerts that Lennon and Ono performed at Madison Square Garden in 1972 (the only full-length concerts Lennon performed after leaving The Beatles), but also a glimpse into their lives and personal dynamic, courtesy of some incredible archive footage (video and audio). It also paints a portrait of the year 1972, and the political maelstrom that was swirling across America at the time. In this interview special, Chris Hewitt sits down on Zoom with Macdonald for a deep dive into how and why he made the film, and much, much more, including a little chat about The Runner, the action film Macdonald is just about to start directing any day now. Enjoy.
