Rumble Fish

Coppola seemed to trade in plot for style in this one, with the film shot in grainy black-and-white apart from the fish swimming around a tank in a shop window that the brothers often pass...

This is a movie you are likely to hate, unless you can love it for its crazy, feverish charm. It's all style and flash, all emotion and impact...

Deliriously expressionistic visually and aurally, it owes at least as much to the work of Jean Cocteau,Kenneth Anger, and F.W. Murnau as to the juvenile delinquent sagas of the 1950s.
