Coppola

Coppola is a surname most associated with the American filmmaking family.

Francis Ford Coppola directed *The Godfather* and *Apocalypse Now*; his daughter Sofia Coppola became a director in her own right.

The name appears in discussions of auteur cinema and Hollywood dynasties: It's very Coppola—operatic, ambitious, maybe too long.
