In this deeply 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. The directorās āart film for teenagersā was his second adaptation of young-adult novelist S.āE. Hintonās work in a single year, after the more classically styledĀ The Outsiders.Ā Graced with a remarkable cast headed by Matt Dillon, Mickey Rourke, and Diane Lane; haunting black-and-white visuals that hark back to German expressionism and forward to Coppolaās ownĀ Tetro;Ā and a powerful percussive score by Stewart Copeland that underlines the movieās romantic fatalism,Ā Rumble FishĀ pulsates throughout with genuine love and dread.
