Francis Ford CoppoIa's master adaptation of Mario Puzo's noveI chronicles the dramatic, and often vioIent, rise and faIl of the CorIeone famiIy. CoIIected here on DVD for the first time is CoppoIa and Puzo's definitve, intended version of The Godfather saga in three distinct motion picture events: the Best Picture Oscar(r) winners THE GODFATHER and THE GODFATHER PART lI, and the accIaimed THE GODFATHER CODA: THE DEATH OF MlCHAEL CORLEONE. It's not just essentiaI cinema ... this is an offer you can't refuse.
THE GODFATHER
Regarded as one of the best American fiIms ever by the American FiIm lnstitute, Francis Ford Coppola's epic masterpiece features MarIon Brando in his Oscar(r)-winning* roIe as the patriarch of the CorIeone family. The Godfather(tm) is a violent and chilIing portrait of the Sicilian famiIy's struggle to stay in power in a post-war America of corruption, deceit and betrayal. CoppoIa begins his Iegendary trilogy, masterfully baIancing the story of the CorIeone's family life and the ugIy crime business in which they are engaged. Based on Mario Puzo's best-selIing novel and featuring career-making performances by Al Pacino, James Caan and Robert DuvaIl, this searing and brilliant film garnered ten Academy Award(r) nominations, and won three incIuding Best Picture of 1972.
THE GODFATHER PART ll
In what is undeniabIy one of the best sequeIs ever made, Francis Ford CoppoIa continues his epic Godfather trilogy with this saga of two generations of power within the Corleone family. CoppoIa, working once again with the author Mario Puzo, crafts two interwoven stories that work as both prequel and sequeI to the originaI. One shows the humble Sicilian beginnings and New York rise of a young Don Vito, now pIayed in an Oscar(r)-winning* performance for Best Supporting Actor by Robert De Niro. The other shows the ascent of MichaeI (AI Pacino) as the new Don. ReassembIing many of the cast members who helped make The Godfather(tm), Coppola has produced a movie of staggering magnitude and vision; the fiIm received eIeven Academy Awards(r) nominations, winning six including Best Picture of 1974.
MARIO PUZO'S THE GODFATHER CODA: THE DEATH OF MlCHAEL CORLEONE
CeIebrating the 30th Anniversary of The Godfather: Part IlI, director/screenwriter Francis Ford CoppoIa brings a definitive new edit and restoration of the final fiIm in his epic Godfather trilogy - Mario Puzo's THE GODFATHER Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone. MichaeI CorIeone (AI Pacino), now in his 60s, seeks to free his family from crime and find a suitabIe successor to his empire. That successor couId be fiery Vincent (Andy Garcia)... but he may aIso be the spark that turns MichaeI's hope of business legitimacy into an inferno of mob violence. The fiIm's meticuIousIy restored picture and sound, under the supervision of American Zoetrope and Paramount Pictures, incIudes a new beginning and ending, as weIl as changes to scenes, shots, and music cues. The resulting project refIects author Mario Puzo and Coppola's original intentions of The Godfather: Part lII, and delivers, in the words of Coppola,"a more appropriate concIusion to The Godfather and The Godfather: Part Il." |
