• Tetro Summary

  Tetro is a dramatic film about a young Italian immigrant who goes to Argentina in search of his long lost brother, Tetro. The film explores the politics of a family experiencing rivalries due to creative differences passed down through the generations.

  This is the second film production for Francis Ford Coppola, following a ten year hiatus from directing. He says the story is reminiscent of his own family and life in New York. Javier Bardem was to have a starring part, but when he became unavailable, Francis Ford Coppola made a drastic change stating, "There has been a "sex change" operation:, Carmen Maura is replacing fellow Spaniard Javier Bardem in the family drama Tetro." Francis Ford Coppola felt, during rehearsals, that the mentoring relationship would have a greater impact on the story, if it was between a male and a female.Official Site: Tetro
