Review of Youth Without Youth (2007) by Zeynep — 23 Mar 2008
It is a film which you cannot fully comprehend while watching it but for me it made sense after visiting the website and reading Coppola's comments on the symbols , the dual personality and the choice of love over knowledge.
I believe Coppola has made a very universal theme complicated, artful, not so easily comprehended by just seeing the film. It made me think which I mostly like in movies.There's a very smooth story line and I loved the fact that veronica realized laura's wish of helping him finish his work of a lifetime but again he chose love over knowledge.
With all his supernatural abilities which may lead to the realization of his dream, he chose love. That is a lesson itself.It is a very simple theme shot so artistically. Depressed it is but I don't believe it's vague.
