The Godfather
Francis Ford Coppola, USA, 1972o
Spanning the years 1945 to 1955, a chronicle of the fictional Italian-American Corleone crime family. When organized crime family patriarch, Vito Corleone barely survives an attempt on his life, his youngest son, Michael steps in to take care of the would-be killers, launching a campaign of bloody revenge.
Coppola, melding old-school craftsmanship with youthful bravado, built an astonishing picture around these actors. There are some great movies you want, or need, to see only once or twice in a lifetime, but The Godfather stands up to repeated viewings, revealing yet more riches from the shadows each time.
Stephanie ZacharekEin breites, verblüffend lebhaftes Porträt einer Mafia-Dynastie, in dem das organisierte Verbrechen zu einem obszönen Albtraum-Abbild des freien Unternehmertums in Amerika wird. Der Film ist ein populäres Melodrama, das in den Gangsterfilmen der 30er-Jahre wurzelt, aber er strahlt einen neuen tragischen Realismus aus und ist durch und durch aussergewöhnlich.
