A New Age of Musicals

Rating: 10/10 (25 January 2008)

Since "Dancer In The Dark" I didn't see a musical that touched me so much...
In "Across The Universe", Taymor proved that her talent to mix classic songs with great direction is getting better. She developed the Baz Luhrmann's "Moulin Rouge" style of adapting popular songs, with the psychedelic direction of Rafael Fracacio's "Julia's Journal", to improve a new way of making musicals.
All that magic feeling of the sixties is combined into this great masterpiece of pop culture, that, in my humble opinion, is the best picture of 2007.
