Cannes Film Festival 2009: Tetro Interview Francis Ford Coppola

The transcript describes the spontaneous inspiration behind a story involving a man staring at a light bulb. The light bulb serves as a symbol with dual meanings, representing both good and evil. The narrative began with a sailor returning to Detroit, and the name 'Tetro' emerged without a clear origin. The speaker recounts rediscovering this initial idea while editing another project, which led to further development of the story.
