The Killing of John Lennon (2006)Убийство Джона Леннона
The Killing Of John Lennon is a chilling insight into the mind of Mark David Chapman, the 25 year old narcissist who gunned down John Lennon outside his Dakota apartment in New York in 1980. Meticulously researched and filmed on actual locations where events occurred, it is a gritty and imagistic examination of a celebrity stalker's mind leading up to the kill and a look into his descent into madness and exorcism. Independently financed and filmed over three years, The Killing Of John Lennon is unflinching in its presentation of the truth. It does not set out to condone or exonerate the shooting of Lennon or his killer's desire for fame. - Director:
- Andrew Piddington

Violent throughout, this film is a testament to Scorsese's and De Niro's skills, creating a thoroughly absorbing film about such an unlikable character.
