Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All
  • To attain the film's visual style, director Francis Ford Coppola and cinematographer Mihai Malaimare Jr. watched La notte (1961), Baby Doll and On the Waterfront; films Coppola had admired during his student years.
  • A scene where Tetro holds a bouquet of flowers pays tribute to On the Waterfront, where Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando) does the same thing.
  • Originally, the tutor Alone was going to be played by Javier Bardem, but upon revising the script Francis Ford Coppola decided the relationship between Alone and Tetro would be more appealing if it was between a man and a woman, so Alone became a woman played by Carmen Maura.
  • Francis Ford Coppola was attracted to Argentina as a location to set the film/story: "I knew Argentina has a great cultural/artistic/literary/musical/cinema tradition, and I like those kinds of atmospheres very much because you usually find creative people to work with."
