If one were to take The Dreamers, subtract the nudity and add Beatles tunes, I imagine what you’d get would be called Across the Universe and would look like this:

This film clearly captures what the sixties were all about, which I imagine was running through forests laughing whenever you weren’t being dragged screaming through draft board offices.
The main character (Jude, natch) is obviously a tortured artist, since we see him furiously throwing red paint at a canvas. See, he uses art, not violence, man! And there’s unrest, and rebellion, and Vietnam is bad. This is apparently the “Most original movie of the year.” Apparently Mr. Caption-Trailers saw The Dreamers or the Cirque Du Soleil Show which was also the same goddamn thing.
