The Lost Weekend: A Love Story

This was a wonderful documentary! Thanks for sharing it! I must admit that it opened my eyes to a lot of issues that I oddly enough already questioned. Although the story was wonderful, I tend to think that emotions for those you see everyday form relationships. The question is what sort of relationship it will turn out to be. What is meant to be, is meant to be. 😊 There is of course sex just for sex but making love is a whole different ball game. Making love takes having the ability to feel and to use your body as a tool. To be able to make love, you need the bond that is needed to create it. Otherwise, it is simply meaningless sex. I never thought of John Lennon that way, so this was very interesting. Those are moments that I'm sure May will never forget though. I have absolutely no doubt that John wouldn't want her to either. They spent those years together and that's something nobody can ever take away. This made me think even more of Julian Lennon. I must admit, he must be a strong individual. It made me want to give him a hug. All in all, this was wonderfully done. I highly recommend it!

I was a young busy "breaking my way into the world" girl during this era and didn't follow John Lennon at all. This beautifully done documentary brought me TOTALLY in to the life of John, his breakup with Yoko, his relationship with Julian, and his life saving love story with May Pang. She was vibrant and a bright light. I found myself shaking my head at times, laughing out loud and wiping tears...I really enjoyed the film. May Pang and Julian... you're wonderful! RIP John.

My husbands review: "It was a well done documentary that gave good insight into the relationships of John Lennon."

I was lucky to see a viewing of : The Lost Weekend: A Love Story. It's a beautiful documentary following the young May Pang who started as an assistant at Apple Records, moving into a personal assistant position for John Lennon and Yoko Ono. It is a very compelling, raw, sincere story of a young woman who was lightyears beyond her young age of 22. May Pang was instrumental in helping John to have a relationship with his son Julian. May had a special bond with John that I feel helped him immensely. It is extremely well done. I credit May Pang and her producers/directors Eve Brandstein, Richard Kaufman and Stuart Samuels for creating a masterpiece.

I highly recommend it!

At a pivotal point in John Lennon's post-Beatles life, May Pang was at his side, and the story of their relationship has been the subject of much gossip and speculation. In The Lost Weekend: A Love Story, May takes an affectionate and unsparing look back at this period. Whatever you think you know about Lennon in the early '70s, his music, his escapades, his circle of friends and colleagues, The Lost Weekend goes much deeper. A fascinating and emotional document.

The 97-minutes fly by as May Pang (with a little help from her friends) shares her memories of not only her 18-month relationship with John Lennon, but the actual 10-year relationship they had. Lennon actually hints at things to come when, on the Dick Cavett Show in 1971, he (twice) name-checked Pang (one of two people who were brought on stage covered in full-length bags) as 'looking lovely.' I was amazed by the amount of never-before-seen footage and interviews. It's a stunning documentary that is so personal it almost seems like a home movie. A must see.
