Francis Ford Coppola, the legendary director of The Godfather trilogy, Apocalypse Now, and The Conversation, has recently revealed his favorite film among his own works. In an interview with The Guardian, Coppola said that he considers Rumble Fish, a 1983 film based on the novel by S.E. Hinton, to be his “best film” .
Rumble Fish is a stylized black-and-white film that stars Matt Dillon, Mickey Rourke, Diane Lane, and Dennis Hopper. It tells the story of Rusty James (Dillon), a young gang leader who idolizes his older brother, the Motorcycle Boy (Rourke), a former gang leader who has returned from California. The film explores the themes of youth, alienation, violence, and brotherhood, as Rusty James tries to live up to his brother’s reputation and cope with his own identity crisis.

He changes his name to Cage so as not to live off the Coppola name, then takes a role in his second big feature directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring alongside a whole host of soon to be household name talent…
As I said in the the review of our Lord and Saviours movie Valley Girl, I had never seen Rumble Fish… yet. Of course I have heard countless amazing reports of the flick. People saying this is the movie that helped put many names on the map and is an unflinching look at an era in America. This being the second big feature for our man Nic Cage I was only to happy to not only check it out for our mission but also rectify a long standing movie mistake of having not seen Rumble Fish.
I have however seen ’83s Coppola flick The Outsiders hundreds of times...

Chilean author, journalist, filmmaker Alberto Fuguet has written a host of books, some of which have been translated into English and, in the case of “Tinta Roja,” made into a film by Peru’s Francisco Lombardi.
“Locations: Looking for Rusty James,” Fuguet’s docu about the making of Francis Ford Coppola’s “Rumble Fish,” was presented at Telluride by Coppola and is included in the Criterion Collection.
Fugue’s sixth and latest film, “Cola de Mono,” made for roughly $10,000 via bank loans and personal investors, is his boldest yet and was among the buzz films at L.A.’s Outfest this year. He spoke to Variety on the eve of its Chilean debut at Sanfic on Tuesday:
You say that Cola de Mono – what’s the official title in English, if it has one?- is your first gay-themed film. Why has it taken you this long to make one?...

To many film fans, Nicolas Cage is a strange concoction. A figure of hilariously over-the-top acting and memeification when it comes to his rather peculiar career choices. But life was not always this way with Nicolas Kim Coppola.
Before entering the world of acting, Cage decided to dissociate himself away from the connotations that would go along with being known as a ‘Coppola’. In a world where Sofia is now fully adorning of the name in her directorial career, it is peculiar to imagine an alternative reality where there is another more eccentric Coppola on the scene.
His latest role is in York Shackleton‘s 211 as a cop nearing retirement, given the task of taking a troubled high school teen on a police ride along. Nothing could go wrong – right? In true action thriller fashion they run into a huge bank heist and in the confusion the young teen goes missing.

Three Tears on Bloodstained Flesh
Director: Jakob Bilinski
Writer: Jakob Bilinski
Stars: Bill Gobin, Jim Dougherty, Kayla Crance
Creativity makes up for a lot. Particularly, within filmmaking, creativity makes up for a lack of money. My favorite independent, low budget/no budget films, are ones that use creativity to the best of their ability. When cast, and crew take every chance they're given to make the most out of the little they have to work with. This is where “Three Tears” shines the strongest.
Three Tears on Bloodstained Flesh tells the story of Dominic Merrick, who comes back to his hometown, with his troubled daughter, after his niece is murdered. There is clearly foul play afoot, but the locals act as if nothing is wrong. Now Dominic must work to uncover the truth that plagues this quaint town, and it's inhabitants. The only real question,...
