He's baaack...

Francis Ford Coppola’s Tetro trailer has hit the interwebs and at first glance, seems to be a return to form. The second film in the last 12 years, and his first original screenplay since "The Conversation," the flick is being billed as his most personal film yet.

It's said to be based from memories and emotions from his early life and a bittersweet story of two brothers, of family lost and found and the conflicts and secrets within a highly creative

Argentine-Italian family.

Judging from the trailer, Tetro looks and feels like a film from 60 years ago. The black and white cinematography is absolutely gorgeous.

The plot: Fresh faced and naive, 17-year-old Bennie arrives in Buenos Aires to search for his older brother 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, 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, the two brothers grapple with the haunting experiences of their shared past.



The film stars Vincent Gallo, Alden Ehrenreich, Maribel Verdu, Klaus Maria Brandauer and Carmen Maura.
