Rumble Fish (Criterion Collection)

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. After releasing the classically styled The Outsiders earlier the same year, the director returned to the work of S. E. Hinton, this time with a self-described art film for teenagers. 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 Coppolas own Tetro; and a powerful, percussive score by Stewart Copeland that underscores the movies romantic fatalism, Rumble Fish pulsates throughout with genuine love and dread.
