mario puzo in an interview said he is a storyteller and that coppola made the film better than the book... so to speak... coppola is truly an amusingly great storyteller himself... the way he relate his approaching marlon brando as vito... thank you 92Y for your interview with the genius director coppola...

19:01 Francis talks about Marlon Brando.

Jesus what a jewel! An amazing gift to cinema, and a great American. He's an amazing story teller

Lovely event. Coppola is a living legend. A true delight listening to him.

I gotta check out more Polish films.

This woman goes home every night, smiles at herself, then proceeds to gush over how wonderful she is. “I know a great deal about this obscure thing, but the audience probably doesn’t”

Amazing Interview!! Is the Master!

She's a piece of work.

How can one person be this brilliant?

What a fascinating man.

What brilliance sounds like.

the stories about Marlon brando are so freaking funny

Francis is a class act.

The movie is a masterpiece. There are so many details and subtleties, not just in the environment, the action, mood etc as Coppola described but also in the personalities of the characters. There is subtle, non-verbal communication that is captured very well, such as Barzini showing up at the wedding - seemingly as a friend of the Don's, but really to observe closely the weaknesses of people like Pauli who he can use to attack him. Pauli wanted to steal the wedding money and Barzini took note that he was greedy and could probably be paid off. Subtle points like this all throughout the first two movies.

Oppression results in great art.

A great, talented, and evolved human being.

it's sad this has been so heavily cut down, would love to see the full uncut interview. He is the man

I'm looking for the complete inteview. Any suggestions where to find?

Francis had 2 things in common with Jackie Chan and Russell Crowe: The same 1st letter in their last names and the same birthday, April 7th.

I mean Francis coppala is the real godfather getting Marlon Brando a new Paramount movie contract like singer in the movie

I wrote/sing a song called Granola with a Francis Ford Coppola lyric.

Ashes ansd diamonds - I love that film too.

Is there a link to the whole interview?

"I'm sure no one but myself and Francis Ford Coppola would ever know about artsy foreign films meeehhhhfdgdhdhhf"

The documentary thing that he is talking about is the reality tv nowadays.

Does the screen video of Brando still exist?

Oh my god the sibilance is painful 3:13

Host loves to talk about herself

He looks different without his glasses.

He's kinda funny

insdorf is the scourge of telluride and everything else related to film, the most pompous piece of work there ever was

You placed the same film i would have placed at number one. Most of the audience probably doesn't know this but this means a lot to me. LMAOO! bet you feel special hahahaha god, youre nobody Francis is a genius humble yrself

She makes Dick Cavett seem modest by comparison.

I think the host did a fine job, she sets up the premise of the discussion but never interrupts him. It's not like Stephen Galloway. So what if she also likes polish cinema, I never felt that she took over the discussion. They are talking about things they have in common.

She talks too much. We want to hear Coppola, not her (whoever she is).

Yikes, the interviewer is dreadful. Her role is to bring her subject to the audience versus herself. Coppola is so humble and matter of fact. She is all mannerisms and pretension. A missed opportunity.

Ashes and diamonds. The Sarasota Manuscript Jerry Garcia’s favorite movie. Ps. I agree this woman doing the interview is so into herself. Francis is also no wilting flower. When in my 20s I was dating his housekeeper. We went to his winery the day he released Napolian by his dad, invited us to go, then wanted $230 on my credit card. He’s a greedy selfish SOB.

👼My Holy Trinity👼 -- Spielberg, Coppola and Lucas. Amen.

I prefer other Wajda films

Coppola could have stayed home.

vampire films before the dracula by coppola... are nonsensically just scare viewers... but coppola made dracula a very pitiful lonely being... whose only activity is to suck blood... coppola is a great director... made viewers pity the dracula having a brain with only one function... to suck blood in a full moon... very pitiful lonesome existence...

Avatar was a turd.
