In December 1980 the world lost a hero.
Or did we?

Two film students discover something uncanny on a tape found inside an old video camera bought at a garage sale in northern Ontario. It contains a brief clip of an old man who bears more than a passing resemblance to an older John Lennon. Is Lennon alive and living in Canada? The two become fixated. Could it be him? It's an absurd idea that they might have passed off if it were not for the fact that the man also sounds so much like Lennon. Did he stage his own death to live a life of anonymity in his second-favourite nation, Canada? The filmmakers decide to uncover the truth. With hidden body cameras, wireless cameras and surveillance cameras, the viewer gets to experience first-hand the possibility that history deceived us. Illusion and reality tangle and swirl on this remarkable journey of discovery.

Charming and typically Canadian

This was a modest movie in many senses: technically, theoretically, and emotionally. Nevertheless, it charmed.

'Let Him Be' took the celebrity of John Lennon, and recovered from it something human common to all of us. I have read the other external, 'commercial,' reviews of the movie. It seems to me that they all hung up on the plot device -- which is intriguing and amusing, of course -- but lost the understanding the movie extended to us. The movie discovers much more about identity and love than it does about the possibility of a surviving John Lennon. And it has some fine music, too.

Sadly, 'Let Him Be' seems doomed to wander in distribution limbo, as mega-million American monsters trample our intelligence and homogenize our sensibilities. In other words, a typically Canadian movie.
