Hi all,

I attended a screening on Saturday of a documentary shot by Francis Ford Coppola's wife, Eleanor, at Columbia University in New York City. The documentary (about an hour long), called Coda was shot during the filming of Coppola's new film, Youth Without Youth. It was an interesting documentary (half making-of/half personal profile), followed by a 1 hour talk with Coppola himself. The new film looks very interesting, based on a novella by Romanian author Mircea Eliade. Francis Ford Coppola was a joy to listen to, very passionate and witty. He talked a little about The Godfather trilogy, his filmmaking style, his upbringing and his family.

best wishes,

With a production budget of just $5 million, Youth Without Youth is Francis Ford Coppola's first directed film since 1997's The Rainmaker. It will be distributed through Sony Pictures Classics.
