November 2007 - ACCROSS THE UNIVERSE
In collaboration with Sony Pictures, yoox.com presents a sneak preview of the look of the characters from the new film by Jalie Taymor, the visionary director of "Frida" (2007). Constructed around the music of the Beatles and the revolutionary music of the Sixties, the 33 songs featured in the film help bring to life the story, its characters and the idealism and social consciouness of the period rendered relevant to today's society. The story's protagonists, among which is Bono from U2 (in the role of Dr.Robert, inspired by Kerouac's buddy, Neal Cassidy) leave from Liverpool, England and arrive in Vietnam. Music, war, passion: a young love story between Jude and Lucy, two characters who teach us that asking questions is fundamental for charge even if those questions remain unanswered. A film whose vital life force isa also driven by the costumes and the look of the characters it is driven by fashion as an expression of the self, as a message to be sent right "Across the Universe".
