More Information

From the renowned director of the films Titus and Frida, and Broadway's The Lion King, a lavishly illustrated companion book to her newest film, a gritty, whimsical 60s love story using Beatles songs as its score and inspiration—coming from Revolution/Sony Pictures in May 2007.

Across the Universe springs from the imagination of Julie Taymor and writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais (The Commitments), and features an array of Beatles songs that have come to define the period.

Set amid the turbulent years of antiwar protest, the struggle for free speech and civil rights, mind exploration, and rock and roll, the story moves from high schools and universities in Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Ohio to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Detroit riots, the killing fields of Vietnam, and the dockyards of Liverpool.

A combination of live action and painted and three-dimensional animation, the film is paired with many Beatles songs that defined the time. The cast includes Evan Rachel Wood, Jim Sturgess, Joe Anderson, and T.V. Carprio. 140 color photos.
