...Consider Quebec: Separatists north of the border still agitate for a split from Canada, evidently believing that that now would be a great time to establish a Little France right next door to the United States, since Americans always react so happily to all things French - and what better tonic for a struggling global economy than another country that spends three-quarters of its work week threatening to go on strike and the remaining part walking off the job in a huff...
...morticians are already poking at the carcass of Harvard’s political firmament, recently pronounced dead by a council of alumni of the Class of 1967. The coronary report seems to indicate a deadly tonic of apathy, greed, self-interest, and postmodern irony.

...That's a pretty big stretch, and it's the area that Across the Universe spans. In its plot and performances, the movie is ordinary at best; at times during the film, you'll be stranded in perplexity. But in the way it looks and sounds, it's a tonic to two senses. No surprise here, since Taymor has lavished her extravagant theatrical imagination on Broadway musicals (The Lion King), operas (The Magic Flute at the Metropolitan Opera) and movies (a gory, oneiric Titus - Shakespeare as a splatter film - and the more pedestrian Frida). And the arranger-producers...
