Across the Universe features visually stunning musical numbers that incorporate elements of psychedelic imagery and avant-garde art and captures the spirit of the 1960s, while also exploring timeless themes of love and social justice. It was nominated for an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and a Grammy Award. Director Julie Taymor will be present to introduce the movie and answer audience questions after the showing. The event will be moderated by Volker Schlöndorff.

About

Across the Universe taps into the Beatles' impressive, iconic catalog to tell the personal love story of Jude (Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (Evan Rachel Wood) against the backdrop of the generational story of the 1960s amid the turbulent years of anti-war protest, mind exploration and rock 'n roll. The film moves from the dockyards of Liverpool to the creative psychedelia of Greenwich Village, from the riot-torn streets of Detroit to the killing fields of Vietnam.
