The Godfather, Part II — The Coppola Restoration January 4, 2009

(Francis Ford Coppola, US 1974, 200 min.)

Winning six Oscars®, Coppola created that rare sequel (and prequel) just as compelling as the original, and established himself as a cinema master. Roots are revealed as immigrant Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro in his first Oscar®-winning performance) makes a name for himself in New York. In a parallel story set decades later, Vito’s son Michael (Al Pacino), the new don, struggles against unforeseen deception.
