Julie Taymor

Director

Julie Taymor (born December 15, 1952) is an American director known for her work in theatre, opera and film, including the stage production of The Lion King and films such as Titus, Frida and Across The Universe.

Won the Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical for The Lion King (1998).

Reviews of Julie Taymor's Across The Universe are polarized: some praise inventive uses of Beatles songs and standout musical scenes, others condemn the direction, certain performances and psychedelic sequences. Visual ideas divide critics; the film appeals strongly to Beatles devotees but may frustrate wider audiences. Subtitling and some musical arrangements were specifically criticised.

For:Beatles fans, musical-film enthusiasts, followers of Julie Taymor and directors of stage-to-screen adaptations

It's a good movie. It's not groundbreaking, but it's a good movie.

The film is a total rip-off, a horrible musical in which Beatles songs are exploited and truly ruined.
