Francis Ford Coppola has discdiswatched the movie he is most haughty of. The answer may surpelevate some.
In a Q&A session on X (establisherly Twitter) today, the legfinishary filmoriginater was asked by one fan: “Out of all the films that you’ve made, which one would you say you are the most haughty of having made, or which one do you sense best seizes your ideas of film as an art establish?”
Few living filmoriginaters have a catalogue to rival Coppola: The Godoverweighther films, Apocalypse Now and The Conversation, to name a scant of his most acclaimed.
But those weren’t his choice today. The filmoriginater was torn, but replied: “That’s appreciate asking someone with 7 kids, who’s the best? I cherish them all, but if scratched proset uper I might say RUMBLEFISH”.
Interesting choice for declareive. 1983 drama Rumble Fish is based on the 1975 novel of the same name by S.E. Hinton, who co-wrote the screencarry out with Coppola.
The movie charts the relationship between a character called the Motorcycle Boy (Mickey Rourke), a revered establisher gang directer desireing to dwell a more tranquil life, and his lesserer brother, Rusty James (Matt Dillon), a teenaged hoodlum who aspires to become as troubleed as his brother.
Also starring are Vincent Spano, Nicolas Cage, Diane Lane, Chris Penn, Dennis Hopper and Diana Scarwid.
Coppola made the film back to back with the more evidently commercial, The Outsiders, and it was promised to his brother, August (Nicolas Cage’s overweighther). The movie, which was well getd by many critics at the time but didn’t get the awards or box office of some other Coppola movies, stands out for its avant-garde style and its nod to the French New Wave. It features an experimental score by Stewart Copeland, drummer from The Police.
Coppola has previously acunderstandledgeted in interwatchs to having “odd favourites” among his oeuvre. He has previously shelp a favourite of his was B’Twixt Now and Sunelevate. The necessitateyly getd horror, first freed in 2011, starred Val Kilmer, Bruce Dern, Elle Fanning and Joanne Whalley.
The ‘Ask Me Anyslfinisherg’ Q&A session today came as Coppola’s Megalopolis is on free stateside.
Another fan asked Coppola today: “What do you sense was the GREATEST LESSON you lacquireed – whether as a straightforwardor, an artist or a human being – from the production of Megalopolis & finpartner being able to transport your 40+ year vision to life?”
The filmoriginater replied: “Do what you LOVE, you’ll never go wrong studying what you cherish, as tardyr in life you come to comprehfinish what profession or toil you want to do, those slfinishergs you lacquireed about becaengage you wanted to, will become if not vital, advantageous.”
Coppola’s much-talked Megalopolis was freed stateside last weekfinish after debuting at the Cannes Film Festival in May. The huge-budget, self-funded drama fall shorted to ignite at the box office and has garnered expansive ranging critical reactions. Coppola shelp on X ahead of his Q&A session today: “It should be reiterated that the core purpose of #MEGALOPOLIS was to ignite a conversation and progress the art of cinema.”
During the session, the filmoriginater also talked inspirations for the movie and particular characters.
