The film whose soundtrack yielded the first Beatle solo album, and the first release on Apple Records, 1968's Wonderwall is on the face of it just a mad, psychedelic wig-out about a nutty professor. But is it saying something deeper about British repression and how the flower power generation chipped away at it? What did it mean to George Harrison to go off and do this on his own, given how he was developing as a songwriter? And how many feeble Oasis puns can we shoehorn in?

There's a good quality version of Wonderwall on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4qOyVdwgzZI
