Acclaimed film director Francis Ford Coppola has been spotted a lot in South America lately -- sharing insights with film students in Buenos Aires, looking at real estate in Brazil, and now visiting the Chilean capital, Santiago. The Chilean press reports he stopped by the National Congress and had lunch with a pair of lawmakers. Coppola, a noted winemaker, was said to be the guest of a Chilean vintner.
