Info:
Francis Ford Coppola's Masterpiece features Marlon Brando in his Oscar-winning role as the
patriarch of the Corleone family. Director Coppola paints a chilling
portrait of the Sicilian clan's rise and near fall from power in
America, masterfully balancing the story between the Corleone's family
life and the ugly crime business in which they are engaged. Based on
Mario Puzo's best-selling novel and featuring career-making performances
by Al Pacino, James Caan and Robert Duvall, this searing and brilliant
film garnered ten Academy Award nominations, and won three including
Best Picture of 1972.
Plot:
Throughout his long, wandering, often distinguished career Francis Ford Coppola
has made many films that are good and fine, many more that are flawed
but undeniably interesting, and a handful of duds that are worth viewing
if only because his personality is so flagrantly absent. Yet he is and
always shall be known as the man who directed the Godfather films, a
series that has dominated and defined their creator in a way perhaps no
other director can understand. Coppola has never been able to leave them
alone, whether returning after 15 years to make a trilogy of the
diptych, or re-editing the first two films into chronological order for a
separate video release as The Godfather Saga. The films are America's
very own Shakespearean cycle: they tell a tale of a vicious mobster and
his extended personal and professional families (once the stuff of
righteous moral comeuppance), and they dared to present themselves with
an epic sweep and an unapologetically tragic tone. Murder, it turned
out, was a serious business.
