Across the Universe

Memorable Beatle songs create the storyline for this unusual, highly imaginative, visually stunning, psychedelic musical set against the political strife of the Vietnam era about a British ship welder (Jim Sturgess) from Liverpool who searches for his estranged dad (Robert Clohessy) in America in the 1960s and is befriended by an eventually drafted ivy league dropout (Joe Anderson), his anti-war protesting sister (Evan Rachel Wood), and various Bohemians (Bono, Dana Fuchs, Martin Luther, T.V. Carpio, et al.) in New York City.
