Four days after wrapping his gothic fable Twixt Now And Sunrise in California at his Napa estate, Francis Ford Coppola was the headline guest for the Marrakech 10th International Film Festival. There, filmmakers Roberto de Paolis and Carlo Lavagna interviewed the 71-year-old who makes some surprising revelations about himself. (De Paolis is a longtime family friend and his father, producer Valerio de Paolis, worked in Sicily on the first two installments of The Godfather ):

Always great to get insight from a master storyteller.
Thanks!
Thanks for posting this Nikki. I especially love the little revelation of writing a short story before the screenplay. Dibs on that.
Come on, Francis, when are you going to really flex muscle and finish “Megolopolis”??
He is VERY INSIGHTFUL aw always. Great inspiration.
Thank you!
I LOVED his commentary on the Godfather. Amazing stuff.
This matters. Much appreciated. He’s a great vintner, too!
