I am happy masterful filmmakers like FFC are coming back to the big screen and not only that but full force with a "youthful" independent spirit, an inclination towards the digital medium and a great sense of experimentation. Directors who come to mind are George Lucs, David Lynch, Mike Figgis, and Steven Soderberg to name a few that come to mind.
YOUTH WITHOUT YOUTH is a brilliant film. It is very appealing visually. Artistic in every way. Philosophically deep and psychologically complex and full of spiritual themes.
The pacing of the film will seem very slow to the average viewer and it is slow, but it is more contemplative than slow. And it is stylistically so to go along with one of the main themes of the film: TIME.
The plot is all over the place. And I mean that in a good way. It's epic. Progressive. And utterly unpredictable.
The acting is BRILLIANT. Thank you, Mr. Tim Roth for another great performance.
The screenplay is poetic not less than any other quality in the film.
This movie needs a deep viewer with some patience and a love for art, philosophy, spirituality, and science.
Honestly, the film should get a higher rating, but it's not the kind that would be accessible to all kinds of audiences. It is in essence EXPERIMENTAL but in every POSITIVE sense of the word. Consciously experimental in a natural and mature way.
I am happy this is Coppola's comeback after not so strong movies in the 90's. Well done! It was worth the wait.
