Dir. Francis Ford Coppola
A writer with a declining career arrives in a small town as part of his book tour and gets caught up in a murder mystery involving a young girl.
MY TAKE
You’ll need to put on your silly hat to enjoy Twixt, which is more likely to leave people baffled with contempt. Cinematic legend Francis Ford Coppola doesn’t answer to anyone as the writer/director/producer in a film that forgot B-movies don’t exist anymore. The film goes so far as to deliver a painfully goofy visual cue to tell the audience when to wear 3-D glasses – twice, each time to disappointing effect. Val Kilmer is having fun, especially in a montage where he’s breaking through writer’s block, but otherwise what’s funny doesn’t feel intentional. Of course it is, but Coppola is probably the only one laughing.
