A poorly written, cast and executed film that's hard to believe to be the work of Francis Ford Coppola, one of cinema's great masters. There's hardly anything that reminds of his masterpieces neither anything that indicates of breaking new ground. What might have worked as a novel does not translate well in a two hour film instead you get a convoluted and heavy film. The story of an old man who through a lightning accident finds new youth and life during and after the second WWII Europe. There's some parallels to the much superior "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
