«Where are we going?»
«We’re going out of our minds!»

Jude (played by Jim Sturgess) and Lucy (played by Evan Rachel Wood) fall in love in this psychedelic Beatles musical set in the Vietnam war era.

Perfectly choreographed by Julie Taymor, who was also in charge of ´The Lion King´ on Broadway; the director manages to keep the musical plot driven and at the same time matches the action song by song with reinvented Beatles Classics, such as Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds or Strawberry Fields Forever. The film also expertly addresses important historic landmarks such as the Detroit riots, the student strike at Columbia and the civil rights movement.

As it could not be less for a film set in the 60’s, the trippy and carefully decorated kaleidoscopic sets make the film a unique and delightful experience.
