First Three Minutes of Coppola's 'Tetro'
Get a look at Coppola's upcoming beauty
Apple has just debuted the first three minutes of Francis Ford Coppola's upcoming Argentine family drama Tetro after releasing the trailer over the weekend.
The film is gaining plenty of attention around the web due to its visual style courtesy of Coppola's work with cinematographer Mihai Malaimare Jr. and I can tell you as someone who has already seen this great film it is even better on the big screen. It feels like a film from the 30s or 40s with its beautiful black-and-white photography and then when the scenes switch to color it just gets all that much better. Even better, it works as a film above and beyond just a visually impressive feature.
I was also happy to see the above scene again since I couldn't remember what it said on that wall after I walked out and I wanted to translate it. Hitting up Babelfish it tells me it reads something like "do not loosen the rope that ties me to your soul."
The first three minutes don't give way to the color of the film, but it certainly gives you an excellent feel for the film. Give it a watch below and then head to Apple and watch it in high-definition. You can then watch the trailer right here.

For my money, Coppola's the greatest director of all time. Forgiving (and forgetting) his latter day sins, no one has EVER matched his the Godfather to the Conversation to the Godfather Part II to Apocalypse Now run he had in the 70's, and I don't think anyone ever will. I desperately need this film to be great. Hope when I see it I agree with you.
Love the haunting choral voices in chant playing over the opening credits. Then as the film begins there are the words carefully scribed on the wall and the banner that blows at his feet. VERY SYMBOLIC. I'm intriqued.
I think Coppola is fantastic as well. This trailer blew me away. I would like to see Coppola do well with this film, he's overdue….
