Movie Reviews of One From The Heart
Movie Review: At Least He Makes Good Wine
Summary: 1 Stars
"The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now" are two landmark achievements of American cinematic history. Which makes it puzzling that "One From the Heart" may be one of the worst films EVER. This includes cheesy horror films and the collective works of Ed Wood. Everything goes wrong here. Unappealing leads, uninteresting visuals, inept script, shoddy direction. What was the point of recreating the Vegas strip on a soundstage when the real one would suffice? Tom Waits contributes a semi-interesting soundtrack that acts as a greek chorus to what's going on but it's completely wasted. Maybe the only other thing noteworthy is Teri Garr's gratuitous nude scenes. Debacle and misfire would be the adjectives to best describe this enterprise.
Summary of One From The Heart
From the director of Apocalypse Now and The Godfather comes a different kind of love story...Legendary director Francis Ford Coppola shines his spotlight on a Las Vegas couple (Teri Garr, Frederic Forrest) whose break-up on the 4th of July leads them both to a night on the strip in pursuit of their romantic fantasies (Raul Julia, Nastassia Kinski). But in this town of gamblers and dreamers, should they bet it all on dreams, or give true love another roll of the dice? Featuring breathtaking design, show-stopping set pieces, the stunning photography of Vittorio Storaro (Apocalypse Now, The Last Emperor) and accompanied by the wonderful Oscar? nominated music of the one and only Tom Waits, this neon explosion of color, sound and innovation is a cinematic valentine for all movie lovers.
One of the most famous productions of its time, Francis Coppola's One from the Heart is a "little movie" that grew into a gigantic, studio-bankrupting behemoth. Entirely shot on glorious sets in Coppola's Zoetrope studio, the teeny story follows a bickering Las Vegas couple (Teri Garr and Frederic Forrest) during a night's madness with others. It would be nice to recommend the film to romantics, or movie-musical mavens, but really this film is for the technologically minded: it's a flashy display of camera trickery and painted sets (anticipating Moulin Rouge). Alas, the techno-dazzle is somewhat at odds with the clunky performances and choppy editorial flow... and it has all the warmth of neon. Since its initial botched release, the film has developed a small but devoted following, in part because of the terrific song score by Tom Waits (sung by Waits and Crystal Gayle). It should be seen, not least as a case study in bravado. --Robert Horton
