| | | | | | | | Tetro is Francis Ford Coppola’s first original screenplay since The Conversation. It is his most personal film yet, arising from memories and emotions from his early life, though totally fictional.
It is the bittersweet story of two brothers, of family lost and found and the conflicts and secrets within a highly creative Argentine-Italian family. Fresh faced and naive, Bennie (Alden Ehrenreich) arrives in Buenos Aires to search for his older brother,Tetro (Vincent Gallo) who has been missing for more than a decade. The family had emigrated from Italy to Argentina, but with the great musical success of their father Carlo (Klaus Maria Brandauer), an acclaimed symphony conductor,
The family moved from Argentina to New York. When Bennie finds his brother, the volatile and melancholy poet Tetro, he is not at all what he expected. In the course of staying with Tetro and his girlfriend Miranda (Maribel Verdu), the two brothers grapple with the haunting experiences of their shared past.
Francis Ford Coppola’s Tetro is a film of startling beauty; it’s an incredibly pleasurable film just to look at. Shot in crisp, textured, glorious black and white, Coppola doesn’t just make a pretty picture; his entire technical presentation is flawless. We’ve seldom,in recent years anyway, seen a film that so skillfully utilizes composition, sound, hard cutting, and visual tricks to tell its story.
