A must-see for any John Lennon disciple or music aficionado, GIMME SOME TRUTH chronicles the evolution of Lennon’s 1971 landmark album - Imagine. A 2000 direct-to-video documentary film showing the recording sessions and evolution of Imagine took its title, GIMME SOME TRUTH, from song "Gimme Some Truth" (originally spelled "Give Me Some Truth") is a protest song written and performed by John Lennon. In 1982, "Gimme Some Truth" was issued as the B-side of "Love" on a posthumous single and provided the title track for the film GIMME SOME TRUTH: The Making Of John Lennon's Imagine Album. Interviews and archival footage set to his music trace Lennon's life with and without the Beatles. An instant classic when released in September 1971, John Lennon's Imagine was the ex-Beatle's solo masterpiece, and its musical legacy is matched here by priceless footage of Lennon's creative process, independently edited from original 16-millimeter footage by producer-director Andrew Solt with the hands-off approval of Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono. Incorporating footage from John and Yoko's original film Imagine, GIMME SOME TRUTH presents Lennon, Ono, coproducer Phil Spector, and a host of gifted musicians in a fluid context of conflict, community, and craftsmanship. Bearing witness to every stage of the recording process, this 63-minute documentary succeeds as a visual diary, a study of familiar music in its infancy, and a revealing portrait of the then-30-year-old Lennon at the peak of his post-Fab Four inspiration. The film's horizons expand with a casual montage of Lennon's celebrity lifestyle, including New York party footage featuring such guests as Miles Davis, Andy Warhol, and Jack Nicholson. Excerpts of a 1971 BBC interview reveal John and Yoko at their most thoughtful, discussing socio-sexual issues that remain compellingly relevant. But the true value of GIMME SOME TRUTH remains in the creation of music at the Lennons' estate at Tittenhurst Park, Ascot, England. The ballad "Imagine" is followed from rawness to completion, and the track-by-track progress is highlighted by "Jealous Guy", and especially "Gimme Some Truth," which alternates between full mix and isolated vocal track. With George Harrison on guitar, Lennon freely admits that "How Do You Sleep?" is a deliberately "nasty" criticism of Paul McCartney, but this remarkable film never dwells on negatives. A precious record of John Lennon's time on earth, GIMME SOME TRUTH is as honest as it is entertaining. And while purists may object to the DVD's remastered sound, which was carefully remixed for Dolby Digital 5.1-channel stereo at Abbey Road studios, few would deny that this film is an important and illuminating document that any John Lennon fan will cherish. This intimate, homemade “rockumentary” presents the quotidian elements of Lennon’s life: the frustrations of recording, the passion of his marriage, the challenges of being a pop culture deity. Spliced with campy, rollicking music videos, the film inspires nostalgia for an era predating the advent of slick and stylized video production techniques while relishing the creative innovation, insouciance, and flamboyance manifested in the Lennon-Ono duo. Turning the camera on themselves, John and Yoko capture ephemeral images of gifted brilliance, tender love, and larger-than-life vivacity, all of which combined transform a legend into a man and transform the daily efforts of a work-in-progress into a legendary album.
