“I decided to shoot in black and white because I wanted to make an art film for young people, and black and white gives a quality of poetic realism. I didn’t just leave it to the script to tell the story – I also used camera angles, lighting and soundtrack to stimulate a young audience into loving the form as much as I did. I was disappointed when they didn’t rush to see it. But it’s pleasing its appeal has endured. It was the film I really wanted to make.I like its strong visual motifs, such as the sequences with the sped-up cloud movement. I’ve always been fascinated by the unreliability of time, shown by the sweeping shadows as the sun and moon make their way across our sky.”– Francis Ford CoppolaStills from Rumble Fish (1983, dir.
