Across the Universe – J. Taymor (2007), about The Beatles (Cinémathèque suisse)

In the early 1960s, Jude leaves Liverpool for New York, where he hopes to find his father. There he meets Lucy, with whom he embarks on a love affair fraught with the turmoil of the times… From Liverpool to Greenwich Village, from the struggle for civil rights to the Vietnam War, this musical journey through time retraces, to the sound of the Beatles revisited, a decade marked by intellectual, cultural, social and political effervescence.

Screenings resume at the Cinémathèque suisse au Capitole on 28 August. All the details at live.cinematheque.ch.
