Coppols directed anotehr movie!!!! YAY!! I don't jave the first clue what it meant, but he did another movie YAYYY!
Coppola is obviously very passionaite about what he's doing here. It's small, brave and well executed. His leads are stong. Roth providing his usual beleivable self and Alexandra Maria Lara is fantasitc. The slightest look at she selfs an emotion or a feeling. She's great.
As for the story. I don't know how many times it grabbed me, then totally lost me. Seriously I was loving it, then losing it so much that I lost sight of what it was I liked exactly by movies end.
It's not that anything bad, it's just erratic and unfocused. The sci fi elements become back burning elements, the drama swept aside when it's not needed and the I can't even begin to tell you what itwas actually about. or what thngs meant for that matter. The last rose...what?
It's well made, it;s good to see francis back on the horse again, but whether this was good, bad or ugly, I don't know. it just 'was' and beyond that I don't really know how to feel about it.
