I Met the Walrus

About This Movie

I Met the Walrus is an intriguing blend of animation and documentary that gives a deeply personal glimpse into John Lennon's mindset during a pivotal moment in his life. The film is structured around a 1969 interview conducted by a young Jerry Levitan, who tracks down Lennon in his hotel room. The animation complements the audio beautifully, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that contrasts with the raw honesty of Lennon's words. The themes of peace, youth, and disillusionment resonate throughout, making it feel both timeless and immediate. The pacing is fluid, yet contemplative, allowing the viewer to really absorb the layered message of Lennon's thoughts. What stands out here is the unique visual style, which feels very much like a reflection of the '60s spirit, capturing the essence of an era in a way that feels fresh even now.
