2007: Youth without Youth
Francis Ford Coppola's film about a language genius, his doppelgänger and lots of mirrors, raked in less than three million dollars worldwide, at least if you want to believe the standard source. That's surprising for a film by such an famous director. Until you see the film: It's artsy, disjointed and whacky. It does have really good cinematography and Bruno Ganz, but for a film about human consciousness, as which Coppola sees it, it's surprisingly unilluminating about that topic. Recommended for fans of teeth falling out. (4.5)
