Tetro

Watching Tetro, Coppola's first original screenplay in some 30 years, is like eavesdropping on someone's dream.

Coppola excels at what might be termed the cinema of inadequacy.

There is not enough dramatic tension to sustain the film for two hours and conjectures about the Coppola family saga are really extraneous to the experience of Tetro.

Coppola’s style is all cinema, switching from black and white to shocking color at opportune moments, and moving the camera around with controlled madness.
