The Godfather (Coppola, 1972): Prince Charles Cinema, 7.30pm
This is a 35mm screening which is also being shown at the Prince Charles Cinema on April 29th and June 18th. Full details here.Chicago Reader review:
The ultimate family film. Francis Ford Coppola gives full
due to the themes of clannish insularity that made Mario Puzo's novel a
best seller, though his heart seems to be with Al Pacino's lonely,
willful isolation. This 1972 feature is sharp, entertaining, and
convincing—discursive, but with a sense of structure and control that
Coppola hasn't achieved since. With Marlon Brando, James Caan, Robert
Duvall, Sterling Hayden, and Diane Keaton.
