I read the reviews after I rented this movie and I was concerned that it was going to be boaring, but it wasn't. I actually thought it was very interesting, thought-provoking and profound.

How many movies these days are based on special effects or a predictable or formulaic script. This movie is a big exception. A real gem! Francis Ford Coppola has directed a wonderful cast and created an engrossing and visually beautiful film using lovely Romania as his backdrop. The music alone is enough to make it worth watching. If you want an experience that's unique and outside the mainstream, don't pass this one up.

Definitely a Coppola movie, lighting and direction very strong. Watch the whole movie, people. How can you review 30 min of something? This movie bored and captivated me at the same time. I was disinterested and almost drawn to tears at the same moments. Very odd is this movie. I couldn't decide if it was fantastic or garbage after I first watched it, but it left me thinking and talking about it. I think you need to watch it a few times and turn the subtitles on to pick up everything (unless you know every language in history). Don't just give up on this movie. Not for you if you if you just want action and it isn't the Godfather, so don't go in expecting it to be.

I gave this the ole' college try. But this is absolutely one of the worst films that I have ever seen. This is just plain stupid. 'Youth without Youth' more akin to 'Youth without a Plot'. A passive aggressive, disjointed mess! Don't waste your time ... like I did!

Youth Without Youth is probably best left in book form. It just didn't translate well. At all.

I thought this movie was awful. I am certainly not a philosopher. If I were I might see this movie as profound and inspiring. However since I am not a philosopher I thought it was weird and boring. It had some cool story line ideas in it. But it seemed to switch main characters half way through the film. And there was an entire reference to the war, made, that didn't seem to have anything to do with the actual plot line.

I would recommend that one watch this as a sleep aid, had I not suffered brain damage due to the storyline.

OK, I haven't even seen it yet, & I won't see it due to Coppola's part in it, but because Mircea Eliade wrote it. He is a gifted author whom I studied in college. So, I will see it for, hopefully, some spiritual insight. Why is everyone just talking about FFC..Eliade. Read Eliade.
