The Killing of John Lennon
Synopsis
The film is more than a chronicle of one man's desperate act, it explores the razor-thin lines between art and insanity, between the drive to create and the compulsion to destroy. Its theme of bomb-ticking loneliness and, by extension, the notion that America as a nation seems to foster angry strangers who vent paranoid resentment towards public figures couldn't be more resonant today.
