Twitter Capsule: Loopy bohemian comedy barely augurs The Rain People, much less Coppola's 70s triumphs. Fine but tad jumbled.

Second Capsule: Lava lamp in a 220 volt. Colorful, lively, tricksy, but gets a little dull. Coppola takes cast out on limbs.

VOR: ③  Something about its loopiness compels a revisit. Maybe it's just Coppola's subsequent trajectory that inspires curiosity. Lots of ideas, anyway.
