In America, few film directors attain the coveted status of auteur.
With huge production costs and complex studio systems, it is rare
for a single person to gain the level of creative control over all
aspects of the filmmaking process -- from screenwriting to editing
to the sought-after "final cut" -- that the auteur possesses.
Francis Ford Coppola, author Gene Phillips argues, is one of the
better known modern exceptions.The force behind such popular and
critically acclaimed films as Apocalypse Now and the Godfather
trilogy, Coppola has imprinted his distinct style on each of his
movies -- and subsequently on the landscape of American popular
culture. In Godfather, Phillips argues that Coppola has repeatedly
bucked the Hollywood "factory system" in an attempt to create
distinct films that reflect his own artistic vision -- often to the
detriment of his career and finances.Phillips blends biography,
studio history, and film criticism to complete the most
comprehensive work on Coppola ever written. Phillips conducted
interviews with the director and his colleagues and examined
Coppola's production journals and screenplays. Phillips also
reviewed rare copies of Coppola's student films, his early
excursions into soft-core pornography, and his less celebrated
productions such as One from the Heart and Tucker: The Man and His
Dream. The result is the definitive assessment of one of
Hollywood's most enduring and misunderstood mavericks.
