COPPOLA By Peter Cowie

Description: Talking exclusively to Peter Cowie for this updated edition of the biography, Coppola looks back on the past 20 years, and reflects on his much-cherished independence, as well as on the state of modern cinema. More than any other director, Francis Coppola exemplifies the drive and invention of modern American cinema. Acclaimed since his first Godfather movie in 1972, he went on to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes for The Conversation and to make an unforgettable impact on audiences worldwide with the gripping Vietnam War epic Apocalypse Now. Along with major blockbusters, he has also launched such actors' careers as Nicolas Cage and Tom Cruise. Since the turn of the new millennium, Coppola has returned to his roots—to the low-budget, personal film, written and directed without the involvement of the major Hollywood studios. He has also encouraged the work of other talented filmmakers—from his daughter Sofia to the Brazilian director Walter Salles and Robert De Niro. In 2010 he was awarded his sixth Oscar. This is a vivid, penetrating portrait of the man whose films have a strange knack of mirroring his own dramatic life. Book in very good condition, I'm not sure if my husband even read it.
