Rumble Fish
Vancity Theatre, 1181 Seymour, VancouverFrancis Coppola’s second take on an SE Hinton teen novel is in a very different register to The Outsiders: it’s an expressionistic, Wellesian urban art film dealing in icons, symbols and a syncopated percussive score by Stewart Copeland of The Police. Matt Dillon and Mickey Rourke star as brothers Rusty James and the Motorcycle Boy respectively, along with a very young Diane Lane and Nicolas Cage (and not forgetting "Domino", aka Sofia Coppola).
