Youth Without Youth

Francis Ford Coppola's Youth Without Youth stars Tim Roth as Dominic Matei, an aging professor of linguistics who survives a cataclysmic event to find his youth miraculously restored. Dominic's physical rejuvenation is matched by a highly evolved intellect, which attracts the attention of Nazi scientists, forcing him into exile. While on the run, he reunites with his lost love, Laura, and works to complete his research into the origins of human language. When his research threatens Laura's well being, Dominic is forced to choose between his life's work and the great love of his life. Youth Without Youth also stars Bruno Ganz, Alexandra Pirici, Marcel Iures, Andre M. Hennicke and, in a performance so brilliant it will leave you slack-jawed, Alexandra Maria Lara as three versions of Dominic’s great love. It is based upon a novella by Romanian Mircea Eliade.
