Across the Universe (2007)
*** out of ****
Directed by Julie Taymor
With Jim Sturgess, Evan Rachel Wood, Joe Anderson, Martin Luther, Dana Fuchs and T.V Carpio.
Elaborated, colorful musical with Beatles songs about a couple in loved (Sturgess and Wood) in psychedelic times of drugs, love and war. Visually stunning but poorly plotted; although is an aesthetically experience with great choreography and nice songs adaptation which includes "Because", "Strawberry Fields Forever", "Hold me Thight", "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" and " All You Need is Love". Feature Bono singing'"I Am the Walrus" and "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". Look for Salma Hayek as a sensual nurse singing' "Happiness is a warm Gun".
