This astute biography critically examines Coppola''s singular vision and why it makes such paradoxes not only possible but prevalent in his long turbulent career. At the age of 32 Coppola became a superstar in Hollywood with  The Godfather,  which rapidly climbed to the top of the all-time box-office hits. Two years later he won the coveted Palme d''Or at the Cannes festival for  The Conversation.  His savage epic of the Vietnam War,  Apocalypse Now,  established him as the most daring, brilliant filmmaker of his generation. This book not only goes behind the cameras to track the creative and financial turmoil involved in his productions, but offers perceptive analyses of his films, including all three parts of  The Godfather  and the visually stunning remake of  Dracula.
