Peace and love, tea and ciggies... More than a mere 'story of the album', director Michael Epstein's doc mounts a vividly humanising study of Lennon/Ono circa 1971's Imagine. An absorbing picture of two deeply entwined idealists caught in fame's glare emerges between the raretreasure home vids and new interviews, deepened by insights into peoplepower, the Beatles and politics. And whenever the fan worship gets windy, Lennon's quick, warm wit is on-hand to keep things grounded.
