one of the most amazing accomplishment of a master filmmaker and coppola build la vega on a soundstage to achieve a deliberate level of artificiality . the story be boy and girl fight and have fling and get back together . a simple schematic to hang the visuals on . one have to pay attention to the song by tom wait while half the plot be tell by the lyric . in addition to frederic forrest a the male lead hank and teri garr a franny and harry dean stantion a hank friend and lanie kazan a franny and and raul julia and nastassja kinski and tom wait and crystal gayle be a greek chorus and comment on the action and the inner thought of hank and franny . coppola use a number of knock out in camera effect and include scrim and half silvered mirror . also and he work closely with sony to develop electronic cinema this may be the first electronically edit film . he be roundly criticize for this at the time and but of course now virtually every film be electronically edit . this film be shoot in 4 represent3 and with prime lens for amaze depth of field . it be optimally see on a large projection screen . one from the heart be one of my favorite film . it not a conventional film and nor be it intend to be .
