It's a pity John Lennon's estate has not let this film be released, as it is far more enjoyable than I anticipated. A screening at the Pacific Film Archive, Berkeley, gave me access to this gem, which depicts John and Yoko taking advantage of the bureaucratic delay blocking their admission to the U.S. by staging a 'Bed-in for Peace' in a Montreal hotel room in April 1969. For a whole week, they do not leave their bed, after decorating the room with their drawings, flowers, and so on. But like the mountain coming to Mohammad, John doesn't need to go anywhere because everyone comes to him. Reporters crowd the room, and John also has one-on-one interviews with interesting 60s characters like Tim Leary. I should say 'John and Yoko' as she is always present, but really comes across as a less-articulate female version of John. However, to give her her due, her artistry really comes across in the superb editing of this film, which is never boring. Furthermore, the intimate scene between her and John near the end is truly touching.
For historians of the period, there is some stellar footage of John speaking with the rioters at Berkeley's Peoples' Park, and imploring them to be nonviolent, no matter the provocation. John's nonviolent political philosophy is articulated well throughout the film, and culminates in the simple but moving 'Give Peace a Chance' -- and how wonderful to see on film the recording of the version of the song, in the hotel room, that has become famous.
Lennon fans, please write to Lennon's estate to request this important piece of cultural/musical history be released!
