The legendary Francis Ford Coppola will show off his first movie in 10 years at the Rome film festival next month.
The movie “Youth Without Youth” the romantic tale of an elderly Romanian professor who becomes young again after being hit by lightning.
The veteran filmmaker, known for cult movies like "Apocalypse Now" and "The Godfather" trilogy, is back in the director's seat 10 years after shooting "The Rainmaker," and has picked Rome -- which suffers from its proximity to the Toronto festival -- for his world premiere.
"It is a film that we strongly wanted. ... Coppola, who is back with a philosophical noir, will be here. It's a film that will leave a sign and will make people talk," said Piera Detassis, one of the festival's directors.
The second annual festival, running Oct. 18-27, features 14 movies in competition, including "La Deuxieme Souffle" ("Second Wind"), starring Daniel Auteuil and Monica Bellucci, and "El Pasado" ("The Past"), with Mexican actor Gael Garcia Bernal.
Other festival events include public meetings and conferences with Jane Fonda, Terrence Malick and Sophia Loren.
