What is the John Lennon movie about?

On the same day John Lennon was murdered, he and his partner Yoko Ono gave a two-hour radio interview. Now the former Beatle's final interview has been turned into a documentary.

The film was presented by Steven Soderbergh at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

I was fascinated by their generous spirit, says the American film director.

In a December 8, 1980 interview conducted at his home in New York, Lennon speaks openly about, among other things, love, Yoko, creativity, life after the Beatles, and raising a two-year-old.

To portray some of the more philosophical parts of the interview, Soderbergh has used AI.

No AI-generated images of Lennon have been made, but the use of AI has nevertheless been criticized.

I take it very seriously, and I understand why people react emotionally, says Soderbergh, who has been transparent about his method.
