Every Francis Ford Coppola Movie Ranked Worst To Best

Tetro allowed Coppola to only craft one of his most beautiful and emotionally resonant stories, but also saw him write his first original screenplay since 1974's The Conversation. The results of Coppola's extra work comes down to a stirring story of brotherly love and estrangement, as Bennie (Alden Ehrenreich) attempts to reconnect with his brother, the titular Tetro (Vincent Gallo).

The film is named after Tetro, but really it's about Bennie, who's disappointed to find his brother is not who he was once, and who has no desire to be that man again. It's a powerful story, well told and remarkably acted.

But the star of the show is not the superb acting or the powerful story, but Coppola's black-and-white direction. Set in Buenos Aires, Tetro is certainly one of Coppola's most visually sublime efforts, an awe-inspiring spectacle that allows the setting to shine continuously. Simply put, Tetro is a future classic, in desperate need of a reappraisal.
