Search - One From the Heart

After completing Apocalypse Now, Francis Ford Coppola initially planned for his next picture to be an intimate romantic musical shot on a low budget in Las Vegas. Three years later, One from the Heart had mushroomed into a big-budget spectacular, shot on strikingly stylized sets at his newly opened Zoetrope Studio and costing a then-massive $27 million. The story concerns Hank (Frederick Forrest) and Franny (Terri Garr), a working-class couple living on the outskirts of Las Vegas; after five years together, their relationship has fallen into a rut, and they both set off in search of new partners. Hank meets up with Leila (Nastassia Kinski), a beautiful high-wire artist, and Franny has a fling with Ray (Raul Julia), a dashing actor-waiter. But Hank and Franny still love each other, and their search for romance brings them back into each other's arms. Singer/songwriter Tom Waits received an Oscar nomination for his widely acclaimed song score, performed with country crooner Crystal Gayle. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Francis Ford Coppola's offbeat and visually striking take on the great Hollywood musicals has been given a lavish presentation for its release on DVD. One From the Heart has been transferred to disc in its original full-frame aspect ratio of 1.33:1 under the supervision of cinematographer Vittorio Storaro, and the audio has been remixed for playback in Dolby Digital 5.1. The dialogue is in English, with no multiple-language options included. The wide array of bonus materials includes an audio commentary from Coppola; an isolated music track featuring the song score by Tom Waits; a short subject on the making of the film made to promote its original release; a documentary on American Zoetrope, Coppola's ambitious and ill-fated production company; another documentary on the ground-breaking "electronic cinema" techniques pioneered with this film; a profile of Tom Waits, which explores his collaboration with Coppola and singer Crystal Gayle for this film; demo recordings and alternate takes from Waits' score; rehearsal footage and deleted scenes; a gallery of production photos; and more. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
