Across the Universe (2007)

“Do, do, do, do, do, do. Why isn’t the issue here who I am?!”” May-usical month is back with a vengeance ... and The Beatles! We're kicking off the month by celebrating Julie Taymor's psychedelic, underappreciated jukebox musical. We're talking about the adorable (and insufferable) coming-of-age experience of discovering The Beatles for the first time, why this film resonated so heavily with teen girls, and the fantastical approach the film takes to Vietnam and radicalization.  ------ Morning Announcements Join the Soleil Space streaming platform and community today and start exploring a world of diverse, authentic stories.
