Francis Ford Coppola – The Epic Dreamer of American Cinema

Francis Ford Coppola – The Epic Dreamer of American Cinema

Francis Ford Coppola reshaped Hollywood with ambition that matched his art. From the family saga of The Godfather to the operatic madness of Apocalypse Now, his films fuse intimacy with grandeur, personal vision with cultural myth. Coppola dreamed of building an artist’s studio in the heart of American cinema and paid the price for chasing visions larger than life. In this episode of Filmmaking Giants, we trace his journey through triumphs, disasters, and enduring influence — the story of a filmmaker who dared to imagine movies as both personal confession and national epic.
