Lennon NYC
1h 55m Music, Art & Culture, Biographies, Documentary 2010

A vivid portrait of John Lennon’s New York years - love, exile, protest, and rebirth in the city that let him be free.

LENNONYC captures John Lennon’s remarkable post-Beatles years in New York — a city that became his refuge, muse, and stage. Featuring Yoko Ono, Elton John, and those who shared his creative rebirth, the film reveals Lennon as artist, activist, and husband, navigating fame, love, and loss. A tender, insightful chronicle of a man redefining peace and identity on his own terms.

Rialto Recommends: LENNONYC. At once intimate and electric, LENNONYC shows the artist stripped of myth and reborn in truth. Through rare footage and heartfelt interviews, it paints a portrait of Lennon not as a legend, but as a man learning how to live, love, and make music in a world he still hoped to change.
