Across the Universe

Ahh... finally - my pick for film of the year (even though it was released in 2007).
This week we went to Across the Universe, directed by Julie Taymor. It was brilliant!

The music - all Beatles songs (33 I believe) well sung by the cast with very groovy arrangements, that fitted into the clever story... the costumes, choreography and sets were excellent... even Bono made a cameo as Dr Robert. If you haven't seen this movie and you like the Beatles or lived a bit in the 60's (or wished that you did!) then watch it. It is out on DVD in the Northern Hemisphere but on at the Academy theatre in Christchurch, NZ.

I bought the CD today (deluxe version as it has more songs)... truly wonderful!
