Gangster films were no longer a popular genre when Paramount optioned Mario Puzo’s novel about an aging head of a crime family and the son reluctant to join the family business, but Francis Ford Coppola’s faithful and emo- tionally resonant film version was a box office blockbuster as well as one of the most critically acclaimed American films of all time, with many of the finest actors of the modern era playing their first star-making roles.

CAST: Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall.
1972. 177 min. USA. Color. English. DCP.
The Godfather Part II
Wed, Mar 23 | 7:30pm | DGT
The Godfather Part II is often cited as the rare example of a sequel that equals or even surpasses the original, but it is both a sequel and a prequel, extending the tragic story of Michael Corleone and his family into the late 1950s while looking back at young Vito (Robert De Niro in an Oscar-winning performance) and his experience as an immigrant in New York, in a gorgeously crafted production rich with novelistic detail.
DIRECTOR: Francis Ford Coppola.
CAST: Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, Robert De Niro.
