American film director, producer and screenwriter, central figure of New Hollywood and known for The Godfather trilogy, Apocalypse Now and The Conversation.

Born April 7, 1939 in Detroit, Michigan. Prominent in the New Hollywood era of the 1970s. Co-founder of the production company American Zoetrope. Career spans feature films from the 1960s to the present.

DeBaser reviewers celebrate Coppola's 1970s masterpieces (The Godfather films, Apocalypse Now, The Conversation) for direction, sound and psychological depth. Later and more experimental works (Dracula, Megalopolis, Youth Without Youth) divide opinion. Overall a mix of high praise for the classics and critical takes on recent/unusual projects.
