Francis Ford Coppola

Affected by polio at the age of ten and thus losing the use of his left arm, Francis Ford Coppola quickly learned to develop his imagination: during his convalescence, he staged puppets, watched a lot of television and made his first amateur films in 8mm. In 1960, he entered the cinema department of UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles). Three years later, Roger Corman entrusted him with the second technical team on the set of The Young Racers, and at the same time allowed him to direct his first feature film: Dementia 13.

In 1966, he joined the company Seven Arts and wrote several screenplays including Sydney Pollack's Forbidden Property and Is Paris Burning? by René Clément. He also contributed to the writing of Patton by Franklin J. Schaffner, which won him the Oscar for Best Screenplay in 1971. He then founded the American Zoetrope company in collaboration with George Lucas and produced his first film THX 1138. Success came. in 1972 with the production (nevertheless laborious) of the cult film The Godfather, which then allowed him to stage a more personal work: Secret Conversation, which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1974. The production of the second part of the Godfather again earned him critical and commercial success.

Francis Ford Coppola began filming the most trying of his career in 1976: Apocalypse Now. The film required three years of work and in 1979 offered the director his second Palme d'Or. After the realization of Coup de cœur in 1982, Coppola had to face very big financial worries. He then followed with various quality achievements but without much impact, including Cotton club (1984), which was also a commercial disaster. It is in particular the creation of his own wine production company ( Francis Ford Coppola Winery ) which allows the filmmaker to come to terms with his debts.

It was not until the third and last part of The Godfather, a commissioned film that he was not supposed to make at the start, that Coppola regained artistic, critical and commercial renown, allowing him to save his company American Zoetrope. In 1993, Coppola directed Dracula, a new version of Bram Stoker's novel in which he significantly developed the famous vampire, which notably took on a very erotic dimension. In 1996, he was chosen to chair the 49th Cannes Film Festival.

Francis Ford Coppola adapted in 1997 a novel by John Grisham, The Idealist, in which he entrusted the leading role to a still beginning actor, Matt Damon. Almost a decade goes by before the filmmaker returns behind the camera with The Ageless Man. In the meantime, Coppola - along with his company American Zoetrope - remains an influential producer nonetheless. For example, he produces Sleepy Hollow, Jeepers Creepers, the Les 4400 series, as well as films by his daughter Sofia (Virgin suicides, Lost in Translation, Marie-Antoinette, Somewhere) and his son Roman (CQ). In the same interval, Francis Ford Coppola abandons the project of his dreams, an ambitious science-fiction film called "Megalopolis" .

In 2009, he made his comeback in auteur cinema with Tetro, a black & white family saga, presented at the Directors' Fortnight, then directed Twixt in 2011, a personal low-budget film whose idea came to him at the following a recurring dream. He directs there in particular Val Kilmer and the young Elle Fanning, who had already turned under the direction of his daughter Sofia.
