When naïve, 17-year-old Bennie arrives in Buenos Aires to look for his long-estranged brother Tetro, he finds a tormented soul who has abandoned his career as a writer. After Tetro rejects him, Bennie risks his brother’s wrath by secretly completing one of his plays and submitting it for a prize.
Francis Ford Coppola returned to the independent productions of his youth with this sprightly, complicated tale of a family feud, which erupts with mythic archetypes and generational struggle. A swirling and stylish vision, set on the streets of Buenos Aires and shot in ravishing black and white.
