(RED BANK, NJ) -- Basie Center Cinemas has screenings of One to One: John & Yoko from April 18-20, 2025.  An expansive and revelatory inside look at John Lennon and Yoko Ono's life in Greenwich Village in the early 1970s, this film delivers an immersive cinematic experience that brings to life electrifying, never-before-seen material and newly restored footage of John and Yoko's only full-length concert.

Directed by Kevin MacDonald and featuring mind-blowing music newly remixed and produced by Sean Ono Lennon, the film is a seismic revelation that will challenge pre-existing notions of the iconic couple.

On August 30, 1972, in New York City, John Lennon played his only full-length show after leaving The Beatles, the One to One benefit concert at Madison Square Garden, a rollicking, dazzling performance from him and Yoko Ono. Oscar®️-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald’s riveting documentary takes that legendary musical event and uses it as the starting point to explore eighteen defining months in the lives of John and Yoko.

By 1971 the couple was newly arrived in the United States— living in a tiny apartment in Greenwich Village and watching a huge amount of American television. The film uses a riotous mélange of American TV to conjure the era through what the two would have been seeing on the screen: the Vietnam War, The Price is Right, Nixon, Coca-Cola ads, Cronkite, The Waltons. As they experience a year of love and transformation in the US, John and Yoko begin to change their approach to protest — ultimately leading to the One to One concert, which was inspired by a Geraldo Rivera exposé they watched on TV.

Screenings take place Friday, April 18 at 7:00pm; Saturday, April 19 at 4:45pm & 7:00pm; and Sunday, April 20 at 4:45pm & 7:00pm.  Tickets are available for purchase online. Basie Center Cinemas is located at 36 White Street in Red Bank, New Jersey.
