Francis Ford Coppola (born April 7, 1939) is a five-time Academy Award-winning American film director, producer and screenwriter. Coppola's daughter, Sofia Coppola, is an Academy Award-winning writer and nominated director. Her films include the critically acclaimed films The Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation. In 2004, she became the first American woman to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director, for Lost in Translation.
Francis Ford Coppola is a director of The Godfather and The Godfather Part II (you have to watch them - it's a must).
Coppola became one of the few directors to have two films (The Conversation, The Godfather II) competing for the Best Picture Oscar since the annual number of nominees was reduced to five in 1945. While The Godfather Part II won the Oscar, The Conversation won the 1974 Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

For my final high school oral exam in Polish I had a topic about the Final Judgement in arts and, among other works, I chose Coppola's 'Apocalypse Now Redux', as a picture of war to include the theme of war as final judgement. The film is something like 200 minutes long, but it seems like 200 hours when you're watching it. Nevertheless, it's worth watching as well. It's an adaptation of Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness', but set in Cambodia during the Vietnam war. The best bit is when they play Wagner from helicopters while attacking a village. 'I love the smell of napalm in the morning.'
