I could listen to Coppola's cool and informative voice for hours.

one of the most articulate and "cool to listen to" directors of the modern days, to me. :)

Thumb down for Rose's interview prowess. Multiple thumbs up for Coppola's elegance while enduring it.

how Rose EVER became an interviewer......is BEYOND fathom!

Brilliant filmmaker. He was the king of the 1970s. Wrote Patton, The Great Gatsby and wrote and directed The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, The Conversation and Apocalypse Now. Absolutely unbelievable streak!

I love his intellect and art on film. He changed the world with art.. ty Francis

i love Coppola’s voice...can’t get enough of listening to his unique timbre_ geez and his sense of self. so true to himself _ i feel inspired when i listen to his stories, his struggles🌷🌹thank you charlie for [trying] to giving him time to finish his thoughts🌀👏👏👏#loveyoufrancis

Science genius, Hollywood boy wonder, wine magnet. Young Coppola was a romantic and a gambler, he'd throw everything he had into his movies.

Coppala is an amazing person, and film maker. Greatness.

What a great man. No wonder he gave us some of the all-time classics in cinema history. His intelligence and articulacy shine through and help to explain his exceptional achievements.

I used to say that I liked Charlie Rose. I can not believe what I am witnessing here...talking to Coppola like that! The balls on this guy! God Bless Coppola here...a gentleman

Francis is what I call a Renaissance man--so many interests, and he is good at all of them. He finally received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this week.

Coppola says here that his big dream was to write and direct, and he always felt like he was failing even with the Godfather and Apocalypse because they were not original. This makes me even more excited for Megalopolis, written and directed by the king, I am really stoked and so glad that it's in my generation!

Coppola is the Mascagni of film - "I was crowned before I became King". Rose could not be any more clumsy asking disrespectful questions, putting words in Coppola's mouth, and then cutting him off mid-sentence so he could interject even more of his inanities.

I could listen to this man all day. What a great conversationalist :)

I think Francis started to get pissed towards the end with the sheet inanity of Roses interview. I don't get Roses angle as if the director has to explain himself and his frankly rude dismissal of Cotton Club. Francis Ford Coppola is an absolute legend .

On a more personal aside, Francis Ford Coppola as an Italian is all over this interview- from his comment that we had wine 🍷 ( and Pizza) regularly on the table before any others to Francis' comment about what the Italian male is permitted to show openly and his literally getting under the bed over negative comments about Godfather II. My father was always proud of his Irishness- but I was born in SF and.have lived in California all my life. When I married an Italian whose.parents were born in Italy- I was just not prepared for not just a different ethnic outlook- but an Old World European one. We've been married now 18 years so we must be doing something right

I'm glad he mentioned "tucker". I totally forgot how good that was and it's never on TV. Need to find that again.

wow, charlie rose is showing his true colors in this interview. he seems to derive a lot of pleasure from tearing coppola down.

I freaking LOVE his Dracula, always have.

if you're ever feeling discouraged watch charlie rose. because if someone that out of his depths can be a successful interviewer with his own tv show then anything is possible

What a brilliant and talented director and writer. The Godfather 1&2 are masterpieces both flawless in filmmaking.

I Almost didn't finish watching this because I got SO tired of Rose interrupting Francis Ford Coppola.. again and again. But Coppola kept his cool demeanor the whole time and that was awesome.

32:25..he predicts Quentin Tarantino as the next thing for Cinema! Right on Francis!

mr copola is a generous men

I like how Coppola doesn’t take the bait from Rose and laugh at something that’s not really all that funny.

Note Coppola’s response when Rose asks him at the end of the show if he’ll come back. Speaks volumes. .

Francis is an American treasure.

Absolute brilliance...Tucker, Bram Strokers Dracula, The Godfather, in his way - obvious Giant and generous

charlie rose is so wild... copala is so insightful i hope i get to get to talk to him one day.

'Apocalypse Now' is the best film made to date in my opinion and a Big Classic needless to say.

Have to agree with the criticisms of Rose's intrusive, self-aggrandising questions. Coppola shows great restraint!

Solo Flutist for NBC [Radio] during the War years....WOW pure musical brain food while Pops is rehearsing💫

incredible interview and about Francis Ford Coppola one of my favourite directors and by Charlie rose

Charlie: "you have a huge appetite." Francis: "......."

Wow, brilliant interview. Especially the last section about The Godfather.

Francis Ford Coppola has a beautiful mind. He, in some way, I feel is very close to God. Blessings to all.

Charlie Rose made excellent job. Not every interview should be laudatory. He made in provocative way and it’s pays off because Coppola said some exceptional things here. It is great!

Francis Ford Coppola is a brilliant filmmaker

Am I the only one who wants to punch/slap Rose for consistently interrupting someone far more intelligent than himself. 36:00 ... and many of us think Spielberg's work doesn't hold a candle to Coppola's

30:51 "I just feel that sooner or later, some- god knows, nineteen year old is going to write a script that's really about life..." Possibly that same year, Harmony Korine at age 19 would sell his screenplay "Kids" to Larry Clark. Making a ground breaking film about just that, life.

Wonderful comments from Francis. I remember reading how the great Billy Wilder said the reason he became a director was to get the scripts he wrote On The Screen without getting chopped up to smithereens. And Francis is right that immediate reactions to works Artists-creators might feel their masterpiece is pathetic. Puccini's Manon Lescaut was a colossal hit when first performed. His next 3 Operas 1)La Boheme 2) Tosca and 3) Madame Butterfly Were NOT well received- and now for over 100 years those 3 Operas alone are enormous moneymakers audiences always flock to. When speaking of The Godfather you have mentioned Aeschylus' Oresteia. If mentioned names of films and filmakers of the.past 50 years, where is the depth and specifically philosophical outlook- the "Long Conversation" of why ordinary people act the way they do? Seriously, I am waiting for names of films that hearken to some.of the best drama ever by those Greek guys circa 400 BC? As just one proof of thinking of Francis. as the frontrunner in the racetrack- The Godfather when.it came out made everyone want to be Italian- not with dreams of untold wealth or indulging in sometime violent behavior- but because "family loyalty" so openly displayed in The Godfathers had in large measure disappeared from the average American family by that time

Pure genius.

"Was it the worst decision of your life" Creating one of cinema's finest achievements? One of the greatest works of art in the last hundred years? What a ridiculous question, the struggles Coppola went through with Apocalypse Now were all made irrelevant when it was finished, if anything those struggles added to the greatness and mythology behind Apocalypse Now. Charlie Rose comes across as more of an idiot than usual here. I do respect Charlie asking why he's not making great films anymore, but Coppola's time for great films is over. Great artists aren't creating masterpieces for their entire lives, they go through periods and in Francis's period he made some of the best films, if not the best of all time. No filmmaker can sustain that level of greatness, the only one to come close is Scorsese and I'd argue even his best films still didn't touch Coppola's.

I like walking by his production company 'American Zoetrope' in the old Sentinel building on Columbus Ave. when I'm in San Francisco. Posters from his films in the windows (once saw from a tour bus a taped-up poster for 'Twixt,' that recent Val Kilmer vampire movie he directed, on someone's office wall).

Jesus Christ I hate how interviewers think what they have to say is more important than the person they're interviewing. It's almost too enraging to listen to this and I really want to hear what Francis Ford Coppola has to say.

Aside from the eventual really bad stuff, what's people's problems in these comment sections with Rose as an interviewer? Sometimes I forget he's even there! Thanks so much, Manufacturing Intellect.

I wonder why Charlie was patronising towards Francis. It seems like he wanted him to set in front of him and state his failures as it's something new. Only Francis Ford Coppola whose failure in the eyes of some people, is Apocalypse now. If I could fail like that, I'd consider myself the luckiest person in the world. Granted his work in the early age was by far better than anything he made recently, but that's how good he is, he made 3 films that no one could ever top, even himself. That's a sign of a true artist.

An incredibly gripping interview between two giants of their respective professions. Indeed as Mr. Rose touched on at the 18 min mark, "Hearts of Darkness, A filmmakers Apocalypse"; which is the documentaries name, is a "must see"

I accidentally discovered "The Rain People" on KZfaq a number of years ago. It was fantastic.

Great that Coppola has the courage & determination to speak his honest views & not pander to the masses

Tremendous balls...putting everything on the line to make a film where maybe one in ten films make their money back. At that time the videocassette market didn't really exist..only theatrical and TV and overseas sales were viable income streams.

The conversation is a very closed and suspense filled almost claustrophobic paranoid film . Still great.

36:23 is when he starts to think of how he's going to murder Charlie lol

So talented an artist

Brilliant guy.

Thank you

Artistic freedom = zoetrope . What hes foundout however is money and distribution are constraining that freedom regardless if hes in la or San Francisco.

I like how Charlie got everything wrong about Coppola’s childhood.

Wow, 52:22 he mentions how critics and people will try to bring down Oliver Stone....he was right..

GREAT!

I had to laugh. "What's his name... Brian DePalma".

Good questions, interesting answers, but Charlie Rose is gradually irritating Coppola. There's only so much you can ask till you just get too far.

I WAS LOCATION MGR ON GF, PT 2", & "APOCALYPSE NOW", & OTHER HITS....JACK..WEST HOLLYWOOD....6/9/2019...CRAZY TIMES..JE

Sometimes Charlie did interrupt Coppola and while he was in the middle of answering. bc of the interruptions we missed some great content, I think.

amazing

Let the man speak, we want his wisdom.

It drives me crazy that the interviewer won’t stop interrupting him all the time and don’t let him finish so it is a constant changing of themes that Coppola is talking about, but for the rest, great interview(when Coppola is allowed to speak hahaha)

Conrad s novel is an element of Sheehan's travel up the Mekong though the novel is set in africa and probably the Congo. But the sense of the darkness or cafard is common to both.

I feel an odd closeness with the Coppola family. I hail from a defunct Italian American family from the Detroit area, and I just feel like I know these people.

Last 6 minutes most manically revelatory

I enjoyed that :-)

There were too many moments that were very uncomfortable; like a grilling. I felt badly for Mr. Coppola, a great director and gentleman. I respect him even more now after listening to him stay true to himself and answer honestly, not what the interviewer tried to make him answer. I agree with Coppola about "The Cotton Club". And "The Outsiders" is the movie I love and know him for. We read the book in school Sophomore year, 3 years ago.

My guess is that Coppola never returned to this show to continue the interview amd i dony blame him

Would be nice if FFC ever got to finish a thought. Charlie has more talking time than the legend himself.

23:45 can somebody explain this idea?

Did he ever come back?

"He came to work in Tchaikovsky's orchestra?" Yes, Charlie, in the 1940's Coppola's father went to work for a Russian conductor who had been dead for fifty years. Rose has a prestigious talk-show but is often such a sloppy interviewer (He's also fixated on Coppola's early career. goddamn, man, Cotton Club is not a giant epic like the others, and should be judged on its own merits. Get off his case).

That question about “failure to grow” could have been worded so much better. Charlie Rose shouldn’t have been cancelled for opening his robe, he should have been cancelled because he was a lazy interviewer. Watch the interview when he had David Foster Wallace, Johnathan Franzen and Mark Leyner on all at the same time. The questions he asked didn’t even make sense.

Love him....

Rose bases his remarks on rumor and gossip and what a few shallow, airhead, wannabe critics say and frames his questions as "many people say...." which is stupid and offensive. The value of films is in how much the viewers love them and how well they last. No artist owes it to the world to do anything, much less "grow." His only obligation is to himself and to create art. And as to what producers think, God help us all. Very few of them knows a god damn thing. If studios had their way, there would be no good films. They all trashed Casablanca when it came out in 1942. Studios and most producers only think in dollars and their own unevolved and generally bad taste. People who are not artists never understand artists. Art is a process. A work of art, any art, whether it is music, literature, dance, painting, sculpture, theater or cinema, evolves through hard work and constant revision and refinement until it is honed to, hopefully, perfection. Thank God for Coppola. He's given us GREAT movies. Here's hoping for another one.

Charlie Rose always plays the devil's advocate. But personally, I love a lot of Coppola's later work, post 70's anyway. I thought Cotton Club and One From the Heart were wonderful pictures in their own rights. I'm so grateful to MUBI for introducing me to them.

"people think that Apocalypse Now is 2/3 brilliant..." LOL

11:42 Rhats something, cos I'm studying Film and TV in uni at the moment. But I've been in plays for secondary school and operas for my London Borough of Lewisham. I'm also part of the uni's Performing Arts society so......

50:15 Francis needs to direct Bioshock! :D

The use of LRRP-Long Range Recon Patrol soldiers in the Vietnam War that never returned & whose missions were CIA directed is the footnote to Coppala,s hubris for this movie. He knew their great loss of life & the pathos behind their suicide missions.Enter=Apocalypse NOW. Enter the doped up/altered reality of the special mission sailors who went against the grain of sacrifice to snuff out a protagonist against his superior,s which Col Kurst represented.

19:38 "what's his name Brian Depalma" burnnnn

according to IMDB this interview was on August 16th 1996

It's great when Charlie gets facts wrong. Since he's such a pretentious gabber.

Francis Ford Coppola e un dio del cinema I guess they don't do indie renaissance like that anymore

Listening to Mr Coppola’s non-defensive manner in replying to the questions fired at him by Mr Rose is psychologically helpful to me as I’d have been angry & defensive in my replies! So I’m learning!

The one thing he was never bankrupt on was genius in the art of film.

Charlie Rose brings to the interview, what a great director brings to great movie.Thanks Charlie

"great to see you making great wine... good wine." charlie you are wrong for that one!

I can't believe Rose's approach to interviewing Coppola in this interview. Harping on about Godfather and putting him down like that.

Charlie is interviewing one of the greatest story tellers to ever walk the earth, yet he insists on cutting him off and at every breath. Charlie Rose completely ruined this opportunity.

I think hed like now to be frank capra optimistic and virtuous.

46:22 he's not wrong. Even after all the classics Stanley Kubrick had made, even he had problems up until his last film with guaranteeing a final cut.

Good thing Coppola as a Director has a thick skin. Rose claimed he did research for the interview, obviously not the right research. I remember reading bad review of Godfather 2 in local paper. Francis was smart to point out his most acclaimed movies had mixed reviews at the time. Once successful the same movie’s reviews become accolades. Rose failed to ask or tap into the fact that Francis did NOT enjoy making Godfather, was miserable trying to fight for every inch. Rose was quite the bully, by taunting him with where is your next big film? Most Directors would say their next labor of love film is their next big film. Odd Rose never included The Outsiders among Coppola’s greats. That one launched many a career, and spoke about relationships as Francis stated was his interest in making films. Agree with others, that Rose did not have an interest in any response not fitiing his narrative. So much missed in discussing Apocalypse good and bad. An SNL skit about it, could have been brought in to lighten the discussion. Tucker, Cotten Club, Dracula were all reasonable successes yet Rose did not delve into them. Or Peggy Sue. Odd interview.
