Youth Without Youth

Francis Ford Coppola blends mysticism, metaphysics, telekinesis, and telepathy in this visually interesting, but convoluted and nonsensical film about an elderly Romanian linguist professor (Tim Roth) who becomes younger and gains superhuman abilities to the surprise of his doctor (Bruno Ganz) and garners the attention of the Nazis (Alexandra Pirici, André Hennicke, et al.) after he is struck by lightning in 1938 and years later falls in love with a Sanskrit-speaking woman (Alexandra Maria Lara) who turns into an Indian mystic after she was hit with a lightning bolt.
