My Rating : 7/10
After making four smash-hits, Coppola went on to do more work albeit this time being rather Anti-Hollywood or perhaps more akin to his indulgent sensibilities. 'Rumble Fish' is one such example where we see Coppola experimenting as if he's an independent filmmaker and the outcome isn't as important as pleasing his own artistic leanings.
Rumble Fish reminds me of a very Pre-Sin City world except there is more innocence in all of it's frames and a certain stubbornness throughout. It's shot in black and white, has a rebellious 'A Streetcar Named Desire','The Wild One'- vibe going and is a lot of fun to spot the likes of a young Nicolas Cage (Coppola's nephew), Laurence Fishburne before they became stars.
A stylish, rebellious affair - it could easily pass off as an indie film. A very good one at that! Thumbs up 👍
