Coppola's new movie Youth without youth was the story of Dominique Matei, which they divided the story in 2, the first involving an old professor's rejuvenation after being hit by lightning and the second the reincarnation of a girl who also happens to be the double of man's lon...( read more)
Sorry - what should have been interesting is dull as dishwater and one of Mr. Coppala's that I really didn't enjoy. Too sedately presented and it's attempt at fragmented philosophy & theoretical hyposthesis falls flat & frivilous in the end.
The beginning is kinda boring, but the movie is really interesting. Lots of philosophical questions and stuff.
I couldn't believe that Francis Ford Coppola wrote and directed this film. It kind of reminded me of Benjamin Buttons with a little of Phenomenon mixed in. Tim Roth is miscast as the lead role. Matt Damon should have passed on doing a cameo in the film. He did it as a thank you c...( read more)
A rich and bold artistic vision, realized without a sense of cohesion and unity. The film seems like splinters of a hundred great ideas and thoughts, but does not congeal into a great film. Coppola deserves a great deal of praise for consistently bringing a new and exciting visio...( read more)
I just saw this film last night, and it definitely warrants a second viewing. It's a little slow and the story gets a bit convoluted, but the performances are solid. It's visually appealing, and ultimately is a magical film.
Very interesting but weird as only Coppola can do it. Slow in a few places. Worth the watch.
I watched this movie not knowing what to expect. I finished it not completely knowing what to think. This is a very vivid, passionate film full of philosophical ideas and bold ambition. It's a gorgeously photographed and sharply edited film, carefully tended to by the artistic ha...( read more)
A mental feast of an acquired taste. It's a shame the negative rap this film got. I really enjoyed its magic.
Francis Ford Coppola and I clearly have very different ideas about meaning in movies. I have now seen three or four films by him and have been left feeling empty and confused by each one. Let me start off by saying, I am *not* a fan of The Godfather, parts one, two or three. If I...( read more)
A linguistic & philosophical feast for those inclined. Roth plays (both) his part(s) to perfection. A grim picture of humanity beginning just before WWII. Picturesque scenes of an idyllic eastern europe shattered by world events. Makes one wonder how little one can do to change t...( read more)
good movie, in spite of its complicated script. Tim Roth: a guarantee. Ps. I love Alexandra Maria Lara! she's talented and is becoming a great actress!
I have to say, there were flashes of Coppola's brilliance in this movie. I thought the premise was interesting and Tim Roth was great and highly underrated but this really was a mess. This seems strictly like Coppola making a film for himself and with his career, he deserves to...( read more)
Now most people who have seen this film were dissapointed with it,but I gotta disagree with them. Sure. I expected another masterpiece from Coppola,but what I got,even though it wasnt what I expected,was...well,it left me baffled and confused,and not knowing what had really happe...( read more)
Youth Without Youth is a weird slightly incoherent melding of Faust and Dorian Gray. I think to fully get this film I would have had to watch it a second time but it seemed to take soooo long to watch the first time through that I didn't have the patients to watch it a second time.
what a disappointment ..what a great director,he really didn't need this ,first of all the theme was unrealizable and not understandable by any human being except for him who had btw really carried away this time.he combined emily rose exorcisms with some alter -ego maniac ,an...( read more)
It didn't really grab me. The story was a bit convoluted, yet it didn't make me care enough to ponder it later. At the same time, who am I to judge Francis Ford Coppola?
Misunderstood since many didn't have a chance to see it in the theater. Check it out now.
How did this guy make Dracula? Here's another movie where the director tried to be too cryptic, symbolic and other such words and ended up with an incoherrent piece of crap.
I have a really hard time with this film. I love where they were going with it though. The search for knowledge, the Nazis, the strange powers, all of that is great. So is Tim Roth. However there is no way to really wrap your head around this film. I don't know if its because of ...( read more)
not an easy film to watch, but very rewarding if you give it the attention it deserves. tim roth is at his best. the first half of this film is fascinating and it sort of loses steam near the end, but still manages to be pretty powerful.
Excellent movie.
Very dream like.
The opening credits were done like an old classic, which the movie also plays like. Very good movie.
Music is very good and followed the areas where the main character visits throughout the movie.
Everyone should see this movie. ...( read more)
Underrated, Dunno why some people call this a pretentious mess, I personally liked it & Roth is great as usual
Interesting movie, definitely not for mainstream only movie goers. If you appreciate some artsy movies then this will probably be right down your alley.
Here's an interesting movie directed by Francis Ford Coppola. Tim Roth stars. An intriguing story plot that follows a single man (Roth) through life, starting from old age as a professor, scenes from his youth as a student studying the world's languages, and of course, through a ...( read more)
Malgré les critiques quasi-impitoyables à son sujet, le tout dernier film de Coppola me semble réellement digne d'intérêt par la touche de mysticisme qu'il parvient à apporter dans cette histoire a priori inintéressante. Orchestrée par une main de maître en celle de Francis Ford ...( read more)
My daughter wants to see it, so I have to see it to approve it. Unless somebody has seen it and can tell me about it.
Coppola reminds me of Herzog: particularly with Coppola, looking back, you can see his masterpieces teetering on the brink of catastrophe. And, like Herzog, Coppola kept working long enough to see what catastrophe looks like. Tim Roth is great as always. He keeps signing with ...( read more)
Though not a film for every one's taste, this is not a mainstream film, it is still a refreshing look at what movie making used to be. Sometimes a little too abstract...it plays like chapters in a Twilight Zone episode, all a part of the same story. I must say that the cinematogr...( read more)
A complex and challenging film, from one of the great American directors, and part of the continuing magical adventures of Tim Roth(The Legend Of 1900), this time around Roth is a linguistics professor trying to develop a theory of the origins of hum...(read more)an language and ...( read more)
There's a lot to admire about Youth Without Youth, but potential for entertainment is not exactly one of them. I love that this is mature, historical fiction (as borrowed from Romanian writer Mircea Eliade) rendered beautifully by a master filmmaker, but damn if this isn't dull a...( read more)
Very pretty, but utterly pointless.
Stay away from it. It just....the ending was so disappointing. It's one of those movies that you expect to have to gain small bits of knowledge from so you can piece everything together in the end......Nope.
Waste of 3 hours.
I didn't like it that much for some reason, but there were a few, good things about it.
