Robert Duvall made his film debut in 1962 with To Kill a Mockingbird. A decade later, in 1972, he left an indelible mark on cinema with his portrayal of the Consigliere to the fictional Corleone family in The Godfather, Francis Ford Coppola’s landmark masterpiece.
In 1979, he delivered one of the most iconic lines in film history — “I love the smell of napalm in the morning” — as Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore in Coppola’s Vietnam War epic Apocalypse Now.

The 46th edition of Fantasporto – Porto International Film Festival will be dominated by European cinema, with a strong presence from Spain, showcasing films that demonstrate the brilliance of its filmmakers, many of them multi‑award‑winning.
