Awestruck
5 July 2008
I watched this movie without expectation. It took be by total surprise. For someone who made a movie called Godfather to make something Coppola is obsessed on requires confidence and conviction.

Youth without Youth is a true master piece. Science fiction, Origin of Languages, mutation, agelessness with superpower, Hitler etc. forms the storyline. Tim Routh as the protagonist is apt. He essays through the aged character brilliantly.

The most interesting and funny part was the language Sankrit spoken by the Characters. I appreciate the ancient Indian languages inclusion by the writer Mircea Eliade. His effort in studying and researching the language that ultimately formed the basis of this story is a story in itself.

Lots of parts in the movie remained a mystery, or did I not understand it, or was it left to be remained a mystery. Clearly an ambitious effort trying to explain the relative term called Time.
