Tetro , featuring Francis Ford Coppola's first completely original screenplay since 1974's Oscar-winning The Conversation , has to shoulder an awfully heavy burden. But for the first two-thirds anyway, it carries itself impeccably. Vincent Gallo plays Tetro, a man who has divorced himself from his family, especially his brilliant but ruthless father, a renowned symphony conductor (Klaus Maria Brandauer)....

A s this baroque genealogical melodrama reaches its appropriately hysterical denouement, Vincent Gallo fixes his pale gaze on young co-star Alden Ehrenreich and reassures him that "it's going to be OK--we're a family." Gallo's warmth is not altogether ...

“Tetro” is visionary director Francis Ford Coppola’s first original screenplay since “The Conversation” nearly four decades ago and it’s his most personal film yet. Arising from memories and emotions from his early life, though totally fictional, it is the bittersweet story of two brothers, of family lost and found, and the conflicts, disturbing secrets and complex...

The current wine movie out at the moment is Bottle Shock and whilst there are two more in the pipeline – The Billionaire's Vinegar (directed by and produced by Will Smith) and the Judgement of Paris based on the book by George Taber. Given that the Judgement of Paris is a rival to Bottle Shock I expect they will wait till Bottle Shock has run its course at the box office. How soon The Billionaire's...

Francis Ford Coppola may never again craft a classic like The Godfather , but after years spent toiling on bland studio fare - as well as 2007's ambitious, muddled Youth Without Youth - the director regains his mojo with Tetro , a saga of familial strife and Oedipal conflict equally indebted to '60s euro cinema and the theatrical traditions of Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller . An independently...

Vincent Gallo's persona is anything but brightly colored and melodic. In fact, it's mostly brooding, insane, and tense. He's lathered the hate on for who knows how many fellow actors and actresses, journalists, websites, and other bystanders he's come in contact with. He's redefined crude by offering to sell his sperm to light-complexioned people (the blonde and blue-eyed would even get a discount!)....

Tetro is the second film of what Francis Ford Coppola openly calls his “second career,” a paean to the dysfunctions, jealousies and other deeply-felt emotions brewing in a family full of egotistical artists. It, like 2007’s Youth Without Youth, stands as a far cry from the for-hire studio schlock he regularly churned out before his decade long hiatus. Similarly, the film owes less...
