Coppola’s breakthrough film as a director is the epic narrative of the near demise and reemergence to power of the Corleone Mafia clan. The film features stellar performances by a cast that also includes Diane Keaton, Robert Duvall, Sterling Hayden and John Cazale. A compelling story on its own terms, The Godfather also offers the big screen’s most powerful metaphor for the ruthless nature of American big business. A new 4K digital restoration will be screened.
