But never go against the family.\" - Don Vito Corleone, \u003ci\u003eThe Godfather\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir tale is the stuff of legend. The Coppolas are one of the great American filmmaking dynasties, an immigrant family who have thrived in the Promised Land. But for every triumph there is tragedy. For every masterpiece there is a battle against the conformities of the system. For every Academy Award there has been blood, sweat, tears, and sacrifice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story is centred on two extraordinary filmmaking generations: father and daughter Francis Ford Coppola and Sofia Coppola. Each in different ways has defined their times. And of course, their stories are intimately entwined. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrancis Ford Coppola stirred up revolution in 1970s Hollywood, risking his fortune, his home, and his very sanity for his vision. But out of chaos he has given the world \u003ci\u003eThe Godfather\u003c\/i\u003e films, \u003ci\u003eThe Conversation\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eApocalypse Now\u003c\/i\u003e, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEscaping the shadow of her father, Sofia Coppola has defined an equally personal style all her own, leading the way for women directors in Hollywood. Her radical yet elegant filmmaking has given us \u003ci\u003eLost in Translation\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Beguiled\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOn the Rocks\u003c\/i\u003e, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut the Coppola story encompasses so much more than the careers of two directors. There are subplots extending out across the clan to include Eleanor Coppola, Roman Coppola, Nicolas Cage, Talia Shire, Jason Schwartzman, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStorytelling runs in the blood.The history of the Coppolas also holds up a mirror to the changing face of Hollywood and culture that crosses seventy years and three generations. So this is a book about America, a land of opportunity and the template on which the Coppolas can forge their art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis is a family saga, an epic, and an opera.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIan Nathan\u003c\/b\u003e is one of the UK's best-known film writers.
