The Godfather (Coppola, 1972): Screen on the Green, 10.30pm
This 35mm screening is part of a 70s season screening from prints. The Godfather also screens on March 16th at 10.30am. Details here.
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.
