In Rumble Fish, his 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.
After releasing the classically styled The Outsiders in the same year, the director returned to the work of S. E. Hinton, this time with a self-described “art film for teenagers.”
The film boasts a remarkable cast, headed by Matt Dillon, Mickey Rourke, and Diane Lane.
The haunting black-and-white visuals hark back to German expressionism and forward to Coppola’s own Tetro.
The powerful, percussive score by Stewart Copeland underscores the movie’s romantic fatalism.
