Palo Alto

Based on a series of short stories by the one and only James Franco, Palo Alto is my latest favourite film. Directed by brilliant Gia Coppola who has a genetic predisposition to directing a good film, Palo Alto is definitely worth your time. 

The film follows the lives of young people, mainly focusing on the troubled lives of Teddy and April. It delves into the realms of teenage life, and the symptoms that accompany it; heart break, rebelliousness and lacking direction (just to name a few). 

Emma Roberts also stars in the film. 

If that does not convince you to watch the fantastic flick, then I should probably mention that James Franco plays a high school soccer coach... Needless to say, the film is craftily formed, similar to the take on youth that Sofia Coppola achieves in The Virgin Suicides and The Bling Ring. 

Don't forget your popcorn, or to let me know what you thought of the film,
