Our take
Francis Ford Coppola returned after a 10-year absence with this time-warped romantic mystery, which heralded a new and personal phase in his storied career. The auteur dives head first into cinema’s bewitching bag of tricks for a globe-trotting, fantasy-fuelled affair, with Tim Roth & Bruno Ganz!
