Composing Outside The Beatles: Lennon & McCartney 1967-1972 (2009)

This independent documentary film reviews the music and impact of Lennon and McCartney as solo composers, during this first post-Beatles period. From the avant-garde, Yoko influenced, brace of Lennon/Ono albums, via some superb singles and albums from both players, and culminating with the first Wings album from Macca. Lennon celebrates his new city of residence on the most political record he ever made, this film shows how and why they composed the music they did during this era. It illustrates their use of old and new techniques, and how they were still borrowing from each other, despite being in both legal and personal disputes throughout these years.
