Director Alan G. Parker's newest film is a personal expression of gratitude toward John Lennon for being a figure that helped him through some difficult years when he was growing up. Borrowed Time: Lennon's Last Decade includes interviews with dozens of figures who knew him; everyone from Aunt Mimi (archival footage) to journalists like Ray Connolly, Chris Charlesworth, and Anthony DeCurtis, plus writers like Philip Norman and Ken Womack and other figures of influence, like Tariq Ali.
The result is an impressionistic portrait of John's post-Beatles years, created through the creativity that comes from working without official sanction. Parker's other work includes 2017's It Was Fifty Years Ago Today on Sgt. Pepper, plus other films and books covering punk acts including The Clash and the Sex Pistols.
