Tetro (2009)
2009 | Drama, Mystery
Representative of late-period Coppola in just about every way: ostentatious visual display (this >> š˜™š˜°š˜®š˜¢ >> š˜•š˜¦š˜£š˜³š˜¢š˜“š˜¬š˜¢ >> š˜›š˜©š˜¦ š˜ˆš˜³š˜µš˜Ŗš˜“š˜µ), uneven and often nonsensically crammed narrative (even if it does [beneficially, this time] lack the ambitious delirium of š˜ š˜°š˜¶š˜µš˜© š˜žš˜Ŗš˜µš˜©š˜°š˜¶š˜µ š˜ š˜°š˜¶š˜µš˜©), underwhelming coda, and an emphasis on weird + sprawling conversations over all else. The final act crumbles mostly, but otherwise found this to be quite enchanting. There's something about watching Vincent Gallo act that's just so magnetizing, I couldn't look away - the dude is crazy good in this (even if you still can't convince me him and Edward Norton are different people). Took me a bit to really get a feel for the fierce lancing of overly-pretentious, dickheaded artists rather than the worship of them as I initially gauged - as well as this just being a rock-solid story of art and family dynamics (helluva twist too [if underplayed], and the segments where trauma is expressed through stage productions are šŸ‘ŒšŸ‘Œ). Wish it rebounded in the end but nonetheless it's compelling in spite of its flaws.

Pete Koslow, an ex-convict finds himself working for the FBI as an informer who has infiltrated a large Polish drug smuggling ring. When a delivery goes bad Pete finds that both the FBI and the Polish gang want him to go back to prison to do one last job.
I have to admit, I didn't really know what to expect from this film, Iā€™d seen the trailer once but that was all, but I was bored and it was the only film I could get to on time so Iā€™m happy to say that I really enjoyed this. The film runs at quite a fast pace with building tensions and emotional family scenes. The plot isn't overly complicated but is interesting enough to keep you entertained. The Informer also doesn't rely on lots of blood and gore. The only real downside was, due to the pacing, it's some times hard to keep track of how long something g has taken, for example I found it hard to tell how long the events in prison had taken.
