Season 1: Episode 12 - SPECIAL EPISODE: Across the Universe (2004)

This 2007 film stars Rachel Evans Wood, Jim Sturgess, Joe Anderson, TV Carpio, Dana Fuchs and Martin Luther McCoy and special guest appearances by Bono, Eddie Izzard, Joe Cocker and Salma Hayek, amongst others. 

 

The film was nominated for Golden Globe and Academy Awards.  It would also make the top ten lists of the year by several film critics.

 

The story is told mostly through song and imagery with very little dialogue.  All the actors would sing live to the music track whilst filming.  Giving a view of life during the 60’s through to 1970 America gives the film scope and with Julie Taymor’s efficient eye delivers on all fronts.  This exciting film pulls out all stop to give an audio and visual extravaganza.
