Review of Twixt (2011) by Damian S — 23 Jul 2017

Coppola's film is incredibly meta in within the inner context of the film and regarding its filmmaking. The latter with a construction of a unique formula of filming in 3-D and playing with the digital technology and pushing its capability.

In this context Coppola achieves his desired effect of creating a gothic semi-masterpiece. The context of the former is the journey of Coppola himself in the creation of Zoetrope and the desired effects of his intention to build for the better of both cinema and an audience but ultimately brought to his knees in seminal failure by the causes he intends to better in the same vein as Hall Baltimore, wanting to write new and fresh but everyone else waiting for him to go back to his roots and devolve.

Coppola goes so far as including his own tragedies with the death of Gian-Carlo Coppola in a similar fashion as does Baltimore, even the parallels of V and Sofia are probable and can be justified to a certain extent, ultimately making his most personal and exciting project to date.
