Beatles were the Sixties.

Rating: 8/10 (3 August 2008)

A brilliant piece of cinema that traces the evolution of The Beatle's music through the story of a group of youths who are trying to make sense of their world in turmoil. It begins with the sweet innocent pop tunes through the carefree life of our youthful heroes and when the wind blows in the political changes, the music matures and becomes one of social awareness Â– and some weirdness. Director Julie Taymor has a heighten sense of visual story telling that she experimented with in her earlier movies (Titus and Frida), but in this one, she just released the reins and went wild, and how could you not with the best music in the world to give you a hand?
