One From the Heart: Reprise (12A)

★★★ With its re-release now after more than 40 years, with six minutes added, this tender throwback to a golden age romantic drama reveals itself as a minor Coppola, but it is certainly a heartfelt romance-fantasia with charm and often a kind of goofy innocence. ~ The Guardian.

A spectacular 4K restoration and reimagining of the 1982 cult classic musical from Francis Ford Coppola.

Six minutes of footage have been added to replace the original negative, previously thought to be destroyed, resulting in a brand-new Reprise version, approved by Coppola himself.

The film tells the story of a Las Vegas couple (Teri Garr, Frederic Forrest) whose break-up on the 4th of July leads them both to a night on the strip in pursuit of their romantic fantasies (Raul Julia, Nastassja Kinski).

But in this town of gamblers and dreamers should they bet it all on dreams, or give true love another roll of the dice?

Featuring breathtaking design, show-stopping set pieces, the stunning photography of Vittorio Storaro (Apocalypse Now, The Last Emperor) and accompanied by the wonderful Oscar nominated music of the one and only Tom Waits, this neon explosion of colour, sound and innovation is a cinematic valentine for all movie lovers.

★★★★ This has matured over the years into a very likeable and moving romance with much to recommend it. ~ Empire.
