Across the Universe: DVD, Blu-ray Review (2008)
2/09/2008 Posted by Admin
"Across the Universe" DVD, Blu-rayWatching Julie Taymor’s rock opera is such a trip, it’s surprising Sony didn’t include a bong as part of the packaging.
Visually, the film is a psychedelic triumph, the best part of the show, with Taymor weaving her unwieldy story around three friends (Evan Rachel Wood, Jim Sturgess and Joe Anderson) who come together in Greenwich Village during the 1960s, just as everything is about to go to hell.
Helping them through all of it is the soundtrack, which includes more than 30 Beatles songs, a good deal of which are murdered by new arrangements that are less successful than one might have hoped.
Still, you have to hand it to Taymor for carrying off her experiment with chutzpah, even if she doesn’t —much like Todd Haynes in "I’m Not There"—succeed in the end.
Rated PG-13. Grade: C+
