fantastic blend of music, color and motion

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2008)

Spectacularly memorable. Awesomely memory inspiring. Entertaining.
Julie Taymor has created, with a team of other artists, a truly magical and wonderful trip down Memory Lane.
Filmed with live performances of the music, all Beatles tunes strung together with a modicum of original composing, the voices are incredulous and the energy is nonstop. The arrangements are startling.
There really isn't a better way to positively spend an evening, and every member of the family can enjoy it together, although there are adult themes, and some very, very tastefully done nudity within the storyline. Wondrous in its achievement; a series of paintings on film that brings Akira Kurasawa to mind immediately.
Don't miss experiencing this unique American musical that comes close to being an opera, and is filled with songs and color, motion and dance.
