Imagine: John Lennon
It can hardly be a coincidence that this “deluxe edition” of John Lennon - Imagine should be issued in late 2005, a couple of months after what would have been the former Beatle’s 65th birthday and mere days before the 25th anniversary of his death. Whether that’s cynical, poignant, or just good marketing is moot; what matters is that Lennon’s impact, not just as a musician but as a public figure, remains largely undiminished. The film, released theatrically in 1988, will already be familiar to many fans. “Narrated” by Lennon himself and culled from hundreds of hours of footage, much of it home movies shot by John and Yoko Ono, Imagine is a substantial, reasonably illuminating portrait of the man, warts and all, from childhood through the Beatle years, his solo career, and his life with Yoko straight up to his fatal encounter with Mark David Chapman. It’s the new bonus features that are the principal draw here; but whether or not they qualify as “deluxe” is arguable. The Lennons’ radio interview with a BBC reporter is notable mostly for John’s patience in the face of idiotic questions like “Is love very important to young people today?” The ten or so minutes spent with Lennon’s school headmaster, William Ernest Pobjoy (love the name), yield little insight, especially considering that the two were at the school at the same time for just one year, half a century ago; likewise, a new “making of” documentary with Ono, writer-director Andrew Solt, producer David Wolper, and others isn’t exactly ground-breaking. However, a previously unreleased performance of “Imagine,” with Lennon and some unknown accompanists on acoustic guitar, is nice, as is some heretofore unseen footage of the Lennons at home on their Tittenhurst Estate. Add to that a fine transfer and Dolby digital sound, and you have another addition to the filmed legacy of the Beatles–a subject that, for many of us, will never be old news. –Sam Graham

Customer Review: Imagine
The strength of “Imagine” lies in its clear-eyed depiction of its subject. Gifted and well-intentioned as he was, Lennon was no saint, and at times, misguided if not na?ve. Example: John and Yoko taking to bed to protest the Vietnam War makes no more sense now than it did then. Conservative cartoonist Al Capp visits them and calls their action “self-aggrandizing” (don’t miss this sequence). In truth, their motives were noble, but their tactics were too bizarre to resonate. Clearly Lennon was still assimilating an unprecedented super-stardom, and coping with the psychic scars of a mother who abandoned him, by letting Yoko infantilize and control him. As John himself wrote, “Whatever gets you through the night…” This revealing documentary is a must-see for any Beatles fan.
