Youth Without Youth trailer

Alex has the first trailer for the return of director Francis Ford Coppola to the big screen, Youth Without Youth. There’s just a single line of dialogue spoken in the brief, 38-second trailer. Instead of that it relies on the visuals, which are all infused with that orange tint Coppola is so fond of. There’s almost nothing you can discern about the plot of the movie from the trailer, with its seemingly random images of scantily clad women, Nazi officers, skulls being dug up and more. It’s almost (and I hate to say this) extremely underwhelming for a movie that’s been heralded as Coppola’s return to his own style of filmmaking.

I get that the studio is teasing us with this, but really Coppola has been teasing us with this for years now. It’s time to show us a full trailer so we can judge, as accurately as possible, whether the movie is worth getting excited about.
