TETRO – FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA

It´s crazy to think that Francis Ford Coppola´s reputation as a giant of American cinema rests on just four films produced  in the space of eight years, from The Godfather in 1972 to Apocalypse Now in 1980. And then? Nothing. Creatively speaking, at least. Coppola´s career seemd destined to dwindle into insignificance, but his reinvention with Tetro shows the return of the artist we thought was last. Black-White, shot in Buenos Aires with Vincent Gallo and doe-eyed newcomer Alden Ehrenreich, Tetro is a smokily beautiful family drama about two half-brothers uncovering the painful secrets of their past, irresistibly romantic, this is Coppola at this poetic best (Movie).
