Coppola's recent viewing seems to have been German silent films of the '20s, so he has decided to coat the whole enterprise in a startling Expressionist style, which is very arresting but hardly appropriate to the matter in hand.

If Rumble Fish fails as a traditional movie about real people, it is beguiling as an exercise in hallucinatory style.
