Rumble Fish (Blu-ray)

In this deeply personal tale of estrangement and reconciliation between two rebellious brothers, set in a dreamlike and timeless Tulsa, Francis Ford Coppola gives mythic dimensions to intimate, painful emotions. The director’s “art film for teenagers” was his second adaptation of young-adult novelist S. E. Hinton’s work in a single year, after the more classically styled "The Outsiders." Graced with a remarkable cast headed by Matt Dillon, Mickey Rourke, and Diane Lane; haunting black-and-white visuals that hark back to German expressionism and forward to Coppola’s own "Tetro;" and a powerful percussive score by Stewart Copeland that underlines the movie’s romantic fatalism, "Rumble Fish" pulsates throughout with genuine love and dread.
