DVD Review "YOUTH WITHOUT YOUTH" Score B- 81%

This is a strange hidden independent movie that is about an old man that after being hit by lightning, is basically reborn or kicked back to when he was a young 35, but still has all his knowledge of an 80 year old. His teeth get regenerated his skin and muscles all go back to a younger version. Then hunted by Nazi’s who want to study this man, and the whole time he is trying to solve something in his life’s research work. This is a very strange concept for a movie. With a complex script the writer and director is Francis Ford Coppolla, so everything here is top notch as far as movie making goes. Tim Roth is excellent in the lead. The movie itself is a thinking man’s movie and as much about rediscovery of love as it is about the man’s research to finish a puzzling theorem. This movie is not for everyone and moves slowly but its interesting enough to hook you.
