Francis Ford Coppola Doesn’t Want To Make “Factory Movies” By Jack Giroux/Oct. 7, 2015 11:00 am EST Francis Ford Coppola makes a lot more wine than he does movies nowadays. We haven’t seen a film from the iconic director behind The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, and The Conversation for four years now. His last picture, Twixt, came and went. Over the past decade Coppola has been directing some of his most experimental work, not what he calls “factory movies,” which he has no interest in making....
