Program Note
John Lennon—was he truly here on this earth, living among us? Though undeniably a real person, at times he feels more like a myth. Through their daily lives, phone calls, news, and performances, this film presents John and Yoko from 1971 to 1973 as people who become 'real' to us once again. Like all memories, time scatters them into faint, nostalgic fragments. The film unfolds these fragments before us, where they become real within the film, then return to a dream. In the voices and songs that remain, he exists not as imagination but as reality. This is the magic of the film. (Yang hee)
