Review of Tetro (2009) by Kyle V — 13 Jun 2010
The thing to know about Coppola is his movies are always going to have alot of depth to them. This film manages to be alot more watchable than Youth Without Youth, and alot more poignant to Coppola's style.
The film really is, frame by frame, a cinematic masterpiece. It's a work of art through and through. Every shot of this film seems like it took time and patience of placing everything in the frame just right. That's what filmaking should be about is the exactness of vision. Coppola does not fail on this one other than the fact that the story is way too dense for my little mind to conceive everything within one viewing. After a second viewing i'm positive I can appreciate this on a new level. Currently, the films initial viewing left me wanting to go back and piece together not only parts of the story underneath that I missed but also the preciseness of Coppola's shots. The lighting in this film is unconventional but it works to the film's high points. It's not trying to be conventional with it's shots, neither with it's story. This film is Coppola, the artist. Coppola's later works will be remembered more after his death, as a tragic look at an artist who's seen the high life, and spiralled his way down into a humble place where he can finally make films with a peaceful mind again.'.
