There is not much left to see him write: “Here suffering”
It is never too late to learn something new and try to connect with the new generations. This is what Francis Ford Coppola must have thought, who, encouraged by having finished filming the project of a lifetime, ‘Megalopolis’, has decided to open an Instagram account to share his day-to-day life and the progress of its production.
“Film director, writer, producer, great-grandfather.” This is how Francis Ford Coppola’s Instagram bio readswho joins the social network at the age of 84, perhaps encouraged by his daughter Sofía Coppola, whose Instagram account he launched at the end of last year despite being a person who is very jealous of his privacy.
Like Sofia’s, it seems that the wall of photographs of the director of classics such as ‘The Godfather’ and ‘Apocalypse Now’ will focus on promotional images of his new film and on some memory like the one he shares from his grandfather, Augustine Coppolanext to the machine that made ‘The Jazz Singer’ possibleone of the first sound films.
The filmmaker already accumulates more than 45 thousand followers in just a few daysalthough he only follows 12 accounts: the cast of ‘Megalopolis’, relatives like Gia Coppola and his great friend Martin Scorsese, who has been one of the first to welcome him to the social network sharing the first publication of the “rookie” in his stories.
The shared publication, the first photo Coppola uploaded to his account, reads as follows:
“I have officially joined the world of social media. My hope is to offer a glimpse into my life and journey by making the most interesting film of my career, @megalopolisfilm. One of life’s biggest surprises is when you realize that you’re older. But there’s a soft comfort coming from that, as everyone loves the stories and adventures of long ago told by their grandfather.”
If you want to follow the teacher and keep an eye on everything he posts, be they news about ‘Megalopolis’ or a photo of your feet on the beach with the text “Here suffering”, this is the link of the Francis Ford Coppola’s official Instagram account.
