Question: Do both films The Godfather Part III and The Girl at the Reception have the directors from the same country?

Carmine Caridi( January 23, 1934 – May 28, 2019) was an American film, television and stage actor. He is best known for his roles in the films" The Godfather Part II"( 1974) and" The Godfather Part III"( 1990). In 2004, Caridi became the first person to be expelled from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. <SEP> A sequel to" The Godfather"( 1972) and" The Godfather Part II"( 1974), it completes the story of Michael Corleone, a Mafia kingpin who attempts to legitimize his criminal empire. The film also includes fictionalized accounts of two real- life events: the 1978 death of Pope John Paul I and the Papal banking scandal of 1981 – 82, both linked to Michael Corleone's business affairs. The Godfather Part III is a 1990 American crime film produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola from a screenplay co-written with Mario Puzo. The film stars Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, Talia Shire, and Andy García. Coppola and Puzo preferred the title" The Death of Michael Corleone", but Paramount Pictures found that unacceptable. Coppola considers the series as two films, with" Part III" as an epilogue. " The Godfather Part III" received generally positive reviews, albeit less than the critical acclaim that the first two films received. The film was distributed again by Paramount Pictures, premiering in Beverly Hills on December 20, 1990, and released in the United States at December 25, 1990. It grossed$ 136,766,062 and was nominated for seven Academy Awards, failing to win any, the only film in the trilogy to do so. <SEP> The film's sets were designed by the art directors Hermann Asmus and Anton Weber. The Girl at the Reception is a 1940 German drama film directed by Gerhard Lamprecht and starring Magda Schneider, Heinz Engelmann and Carsta Löck. <SEP> He directed 63 films between 1920 and 1958. Gerhard Lamprecht (6 October 1897 – 4 May 1974) was a German film director, screenwriter and film historian. He also wrote for 26 films between 1918 and 1958. <SEP> He was a central figure in the New Hollywood filmmaking movement of the 1960s and 1970s. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. After directing" The Rain People" in 1969, Coppola co-wrote" Patton"( 1970), earning the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay along with Edmund H. North. Coppola's reputation as a filmmaker was cemented with the release of" The Godfather"( 1972). The film revolutionized movie- making in the gangster genre, and was adored by the public and critics alike. " The Godfather" won three Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay( shared with Mario Puzo). " The Godfather Part II", which followed in 1974, became the first sequel to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. Highly regarded by critics, the film brought Coppola three more Academy Awards: Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture, and made him the second director( after Billy Wilder) to be so honored three times for the same film. " The Conversation", which Coppola directed, produced and wrote, was released that same year, winning the Palme d' Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Francis Ford Coppola( born April 7, 1939) is an American film director, producer, screenwriter, film composer, and vintner. His next film," Apocalypse Now"( 1979), which notoriously had a lengthy and strenuous production, was widely acclaimed for its vivid depiction of the Vietnam War. The film won the Palme d' Or, making Coppola one of only eight filmmakers to have won that award twice. While a number of Coppola's ventures in the 1980s and 1990s were critically lauded, he has never quite achieved the same commercial success with films as in the 1970s. His best- known films released since the start of the 1980s are the dramas" The Outsiders" and" Rumble Fish"( both 1983), the crime dramas" The Cotton Club"( 1984) and" The Godfather Part III"( 1990), and the horror film" Bram Stoker's Dracula"( 1992). A number of Coppola's relatives and children have become famous actors and filmmakers in their own right: his sister is the actress Talia Shire; his daughter Sofia Coppola and granddaughter Gia Coppola are directors, and the actors Jason Schwartzman and Nicolas Cage are his nephews. <SEP> The Godfather Part II is a 1974 American crime film produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola from a screenplay co-written with Mario Puzo, starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Partially based on Puzo's 1969 novel" The Godfather", the film is both sequel and prequel to" The Godfather", presenting parallel dramas: one picks up the 1958 story of Michael Corleone( Pacino), the new Don of the Corleone crime family, protecting the family business in the aftermath of an attempt on his life; the prequel covers the journey of his father, Vito Corleone( De Niro), from his Sicilian childhood to the founding of his family enterprise in New York City. Following the success of the first film, Paramount Pictures began developing a follow up to the film, with much of the same cast and crew returning. Coppola, who was given more control on the film, had wanted to make both a sequel and a prequel to the film to tell the story of the rise of Vito and the fall of Michael. Principal photography began in October 1973 and wrapped up in June 1974. " The Godfather Part II" premiered in New York City on December 12, 1974, and was released in the United States on December 20, 1974, receiving divided reviews from critics but its reputation, however, improved rapidly and it soon became the subject of critical re-evaluation. It grossed$ 88 million worldwide on a$ 13 million budget. The film was nominated for eleven Academy Awards at the 47th Academy Awards and became the first sequel to win for Best Picture. Its six Oscar wins also included Best Director for Coppola, Best Supporting Actor for De Niro and Best Adapted Screenplay for Coppola and Puzo. Pacino won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor. Both" The Godfather Part II" and its predecessor remain highly influential films, especially in the gangster genre, and the former has been reevaluated. In 1997, the American Film Institute ranked it as the 32nd- greatest film in American film history and it retained this position 10 years later. Some have deemed it superior to" The Godfather". It was selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 1993, being deemed" culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". The final film in the trilogy," The Godfather Part III", was released in 1990.
