Note:
There is an additional screening of just The Godfather on Saturday, Nov 14 at 8pm.
What more need be said about Francis Ford Coppola's sprawling, six-hour Aristotelian tragedy — which chronicles the rise (in cash and clout) and fall (in morals) of the mafia's first famiglia, the Corleones — beyond that the first two installments of the Godfather trilogy are great cinema, through and through? Although women receive short shrift in the boys-will-butcher-boys storyline, everyone can appreciate the beautiful sets and legend-stacked cast, which contains method acting's Mount Rushmore: Brando, De Niro, Pacino, and Lee Strasberg. Drifting above the back-room dealings, Nino Rota's indelible theme tints the American dream with a romantic, funereal glow.
