because maybe you're gonna be the one who saves me, and after all you're my wonderwall

Here are some great images of the elusive Jane Birkin film Wonderwall. A fantastically trippy film set to the Eastern musical stylings of George Harrison, Wonderwall is about a tightly-wound scientist who becomes wrapped up in the psychedelic world of his neighbor, a gap-toothed model named Penny Lane. He watches through a hole in the wall into her life, as she poses for advertisements with her equally gorgeous beau and parties with her friends. Down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass he goes, as his fascination becomes an obsession, as he drills more and more holes into the wall to look at her from different perspectives.

The plot of the story is not what drives this film, however. It is the musical and visual aspects that make this production what it is. The score, which Harrison conceived to be the complete opposition from anything 'Beatles', is successful. No longer flirting with the sitar, Harrison fully indulges in his Eastern interest, creating a beautiful soundtrack that is both subtle enough to fit the film and yet empowering enough to not go unrecognized. Visually, the film is absolutely stunning. Contrast between the professor's dreary apartment and Penny's swirl of neon colors, per designed by the design collaborative the Fool (also responsible for the digs of George Harrison and Pattie Boyd).

Filmed about a year after Birkin exploded onto the scene in the film Blowup, Wonderwall successfully captures the essence of the late 60s - a blend of psychedelic innocence, false eyelashes, neon tights, flowers and butterflies, drugs, and the electricity of Swinging London.
