YOUTH marks Francis Ford Coppola’s highly-anticipated return to directing after a ten year hiatus. When an aging linguistics professor tries to take his own life on the eve of WWII, forces of nature intervene and he is struck by lightning. Not only does this save his life, but it also reverses the effects of old age, returning the man to a state of youth. However, this “miracle” is not without consequences. Tim Roth stars in this uncompromisingly adventurous film.
