It is a fascinating but uneven anthology of contemporary art and graphic design up to the late sixties - surrealism, art nouveau, op and pop art - brought together by designer Edelman's flattened comic strip, Lennon style whimsy out of Lear and Carroll and play upon the Beatles' myth. Stand-out sequences include 'Sergeant Pepperland', the Borowczyk-style Liverpool sequence, 'Eleanor Rigby' with Charles Jenkins' special effects, 'Nowhere Man' and Dunning's rotoscoped 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'; Animated feature with the Beatles trying to save Pepperland from the Blue Meanies ER -
