Review

 

This Box Set Includes All Three Godfather films.

They have undergone extensive frame-by-frame examination and restoration utilizing state-of-the-art digital technology in this historic preservation effort, which required more than a year to complete. Robert A. Harris of the Film Preserve supervised the restoration under the direction of Coppola and cinematographer, Gordon Willis. Harris' restoration credits include Lawrence of Arabia, Spartacus, Vertigo and Rear Window among others.

The Godfather - Part I (1972): Coppola managed to construct a masterpiece that perfectly depicted the Mafia lifestyle without glamorising it. The rise of the young Michael Corleone, who is slowly forced to take control of the 'family business', is a powerful and terrifying study of moral decay, political corruption and the breakdown of the family unit. Pacino gives a performance that literally sucks the audience in and slowly reveals the personal horror of the American-dream gone bad. From the opening wedding scene to a severed horse's head in a Hollywood movie-mogul's bed and exile in peasant Sicily, the arc of the film is as grand, beautiful and dramatic as an opera.

The Godfather - Part II (1975): Upon its release The Godafther: Part II was hailed as the best sequel to a movie ever made, however this film is much more than that. Coppolla utilised a quite brilliant screenplay and turned it into a visually captivating treat, as well as using his directorial skills to make the audience view the rise and demise of the ill-fated Michael Corleone as first-person participants, with masterful skill. Add to this an astounding performance by Pacino and an Oscar-winning portrayal of Vito Corleone by Robert De Niro and you quite simply have the quintessential mob movie.

The Godfather - Part III (1990): In this third film epic Corleone trilogy, Al Pacino reprises the role of powerful family leader Micheal Corleone. Now in his sixties, Micheal is dominated by two passions; freeing his family from crime and finding a suitable sucessor. That sucessor could be fiery Vincent... but he may also be the spark that turns Michael's hopes of business legitimacy into an inferno of mob violence.
