/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Francis Coppola's Tetro will be screened at Golden
Apricot Film Festival today, on July 16. The screening became possible
thanks to efforts of film producer Anahit Nazarian.
"It will be the second show after Cannes Festival," Ms. Nazarian told
a news conference.
Tetro is the second product of Coppola's post-millennial comeback,
following the trippy Youth Without Youth. Where that project originated
with a novella by a Romanian-born author, Coppola's new effort draws
on such 20th century American playwrights as Tennessee Williams and
Eugene O'Neill.
Tetro is shot mostly in black and white, like Coppola's 1983 Rumble
Fish, and that's not the only thing the two movies share. Both are
about the relationship of brothers who are nearly a generation apart
in age, and both emulate the style of 1920s German Expressionism.
Amid high-contrast monochromatic images, Coppola inserts flashbacks
in an entirely different style: the color-saturated, ballet-inspired
fantasies.
