Biography
Francis Ford Coppola (b. 1939, Detroit) is a director, screenwriter, and producer who graduated from Hofstra University and UCLA. He is a representative of New Hollywood, the 1970s movement that fundamentally strengthened the role of the director in the moviemaking process. An Academy Award for Best Writing (Patton, 1969) got him noticed, but world renown came with The Godfather (1972), a gangster saga of epic proportions and dramatic intensity. The 1970s were a stellar time for him, with his films receiving numerous Oscar nominations (and six statuettes), in addition to Palmes d'Or at Cannes for The Conversation (1974) and Apocalypse Now (1979). Coppola mainly focuses on making big-budget movies whose spectacular staging, however, doesn't bar him from achieving in-depth character development or curb his ambition to impart weighty ideas. His later works include The Cotton Club (1984), Dracula (1992), and The Rainmaker (1997).
