Rec. #334: Across the Universe


What: Director Julie Taymor tackles the '60s via a spectrum of Beatles songs. It's Taymor, so of course the cinematography is gorgeous; it's the Beatles, so the music is excellent; it's a fun idea, so they managed to grab some special day players (Bono, Eddie Izzard). Also noteworthy, though --- the impeccable and dynamic choreography.

Representative quote: "Don't worry about it, kids, okay? Just tune in, turn off, drop out, drop in, switch off, switch on, and explode."
