The Lost Weekend a Love Story
« on: November 05, 2023, 10:13:50 pm »
I am keen to see this movie, I think DVD and Blu Ray have been released but I can't seem to currently get them or download it. Has anyone seen it? I have read May's book, which I think very good. Although people know about this period, it also kind of feel like they don't. He recorded 3 solo albums during this time, produced Harry Nillson album and a Mick Jagger song, worked with David Bowie & Elton John, so it was a productive time.

I have not yet read the book, but am keen to see the movie.....
I've always felt that this was the time John was most amenable to working with Paul again, but he reunited with Yoko and that opportunity fell away as John moved into house husbandry....

I just got my copy today and have finished watching it for the first time.
It feels like it could have been significantly longer, but it's long enough to get a good sense of the story. It has a nice personal feel. Some good footage and images, and I found it nicely made and it tells a significant part of the story of John Lennon. I'd definitely recommend it to any Beatles/Lennon fan.
I can imagine re watching this every now and then.
