Rich in color and filled with imaginative scenes, Across the Universe [Columbia/Revolution Studios, 2007] is a feast for the eyes and ears. The film seamlessly weaves thirty-three Beatles’ songs into a story of love and war set against the backdrop of the turbulent 1960s.
The film begins with Jude (Jim Sturgess), a dockworker from Liverpool, who travels to America to find his estranged father. Jude soon meets Max (Joe Anderson), a college dropout and soon-to-be Vietnam War recruit, and falls in love with Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood) who finds out her boyfriend has been killed in Vietnam. Max and Lucy, originally from a sheltered, suburban life, move to gritty 60s New York with Jude. The three share a house with soulful singer Sadie (Dana Fuchs) and Jimi Hendrix-like Jo-Jo (Martin Luther McCoy). Rounding out the living arrangements is Prudence (T.V. Carpio) who, in reference to a joke in a Beatles’ song, comes in “through the bathroom window.”
