DISMISSED as his “lost weekend”, John Lennon’s relationship with May Pang was no brief fling. It lasted 18 months, during which time the couple set up home together while Lennon enjoyed his most productive creative period for years. This film, directed by Eve Brandstein, Richard Kaufman and Stuart Samuels, tells that story from Pang’s perspective, starting with her arrival at Apple Records in New York as an unworldly, music-loving, working-class, Chinese-American teen. and demonstrating “bagism” by getting in a bag when Lennon and Ono were invited on American talk shows.
