“You can enjoy the film like a Faust story: an old man gets young, has an
opportunity to finish his great work and fall in love again, but can’t finish the work because of love…that is his ultimate sacrifice. But it can also be an educational opportunity to learn more about Eastern philosophy,” says Francis Ford Coppola.
He's talking about his new film, Youth Without Youth. Adapted from a novella by Mircea Eliade, it tells the story of Dominic Matei (who is played by Tim Roth) as an aging professor of linguistics who survives a cataclysmic event to find his youth miraculously restored. Dominic's physical rejuvenation is matched by a highly evolved intellect, which attracts the attention of Nazi scientists, forcing him into exile. While on the run, he reunites with his lost love, Laura, and works to complete his research into the origins of human language. When his research threatens Laura’s well being, Dominic is forced to choose between his life’s work and the great love of his life. Youth Without Youth also stars Alexandra Maria Lara, Bruno Ganz, Alexandra Pirici, Marcel Iures and Andre M. Hennicke.
