Restored Version! THE GODFATHER PART II, 1974, Paramount, 200 min. Francis Ford Coppola expands upon and deepens the themes of THE GODFATHER with this ambitious sequel. The film follows two stories of gangsters rising to power: a young Don Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro), and his son Michael (Al Pacino) decades later. Coppola’s parallel structure allows him to compare and contrast two American eras and consider the political and cultural changes of the 20th century; it’s an approach that makes THE GODFATHER PART II an epic work of art as well as one of the most entertaining crime movies ever made. [35mm]
