🎤 Whisper Transcript (en) ⏱ 39s

"The moment when I would want to be the closest to the center of the movie world is the Cannes Film Festival in 79 for Apocalypse Now, because that is one of the most derided films in production and pre-production in movie history. There was so much press about Coppola. Just in the 70s, you're talking he's done Two Godfathers and The Conversation, and this is his follow-up to that trio of movies. People were doubting him, more than doubting him. They had assumed it would be a fiasco, and it played brilliantly. I think I would just want to be there to experience"
