Description

"The Lost Weekend: A Love Story" explores the 18-month relationship (1973-1975) that John Lennon spent with May Pang, his Chinese American assistant turned lover (on Yoko Ono's insistence). With May's help, Lennon reunited with his son Julian and had his most artistically and commercially productive period post-Beatles—with the albums "Mind Games", "Walls and Bridges" which included his only #1 Hit Single "Whatever Gets You Through the Night", "Rock and Roll" and collaborated with Elton John, David Bowie, Harry Nilsson, Mick Jagger, and Ringo to name a few. Pang chronicles it all revisiting her younger self, a naïve 22-year-old experiencing her first unforgettable love.

  • Lovely story that leaves a LOT out

    The movie is very fun and beautiful, especially the scene with May and Julian, but having read May’s book Loving John (which is hard to get your hands on these days) I was just constantly thinking about everything that they were leaving out. I would say this movie covers about 15% of what is detailed in the book. If this movie whets your appetite to learn more about Lennon’s Lost Weekend period, try to find a copy of Loving John (good luck).
