Summary
Mircce Eliade: Youth Without Youth
Foreword and film based on Francis Ford Coppola's novel!
"The film Youth Without Youth, about an aging professor who, due to his mysterious rejuvenation, becomes a target of the Nazis during the Second World War, is a love story shrouded in mystery... I was enchanted by the main character of the story, Dominic Matej - polymath, linguist, Sanskrit expert and comparative religion, just like Eliade himself... I didn't make films for almost ten years. I wanted to make original films, art films, all the kinds of films that nobody would finance. I realized that I could learn something from my daughter, who went to Japan and made Lost in Translation as she wanted maybe I could make a film in the 'youthful guerilla style.'
