generally well defined; there are some softer shots that appear inherent to the source, but close-ups offer no challenge for this picture, revealing Reassembling many of the cast members who helped make The Godfather™, Coppola has produced a movie of staggering magnitude and vision; the film received eleven Academy Awards® nominations, winning six including Best Picture of 1974. Touch of Evil (1958 – includes Theatrical Cut, Preview Cut, and Reconstruction Cut all in 4K) (US release available from KLSC/ UK) – 9/25/23 – N4K, DVThe problem for me with this film’s approach is so much story time has passed from Part II to Part III that it wastes the first third essentially reintroducing everyone. You remember Johnny Fontane from the first film right? Have us a song, Johnny! Do you remember Al Niri from Part II? Hi, Al! Do you remember Lucy Mancini, the bridesmaid Sonny was boffing in the first film? She’s here too and so is Sonny’s illegitimate son Vincent who everyone knows but also needs to be introduced to again because he’s the possible future of the franchise. Oh, and don't forget Enzo the baker and Calo the bodyguard! Then we have a completely wasted John Savage as the now-dead Tom Hagan's son Father Andrew Hagan who easily could have had a much richer part had there been time to develop his role. So much time is wasted with throwaway lines reintroducing so many characters that I feel if Coppola and Puzo had gotten the time they wanted to appropriately develop and craft their screenplay this wouldn’t be an issue.
Full Circle: Preserving The Godfather—Paramount Pictures archivists detail the incredible restoration process with archival footage showing the evolution of the film through various home entertainment incarnations as picture and audio technologies make quantum leaps over the decades. In what is undeniably one of the best sequels ever made, Francis Ford Coppola continues his epic Godfather trilogy with this saga of two generations of power within the Corleone family. Coppola, working once again with the author Mario Puzo, crafts two interwoven stories that work as both prequel and sequel to the original. One shows the humble Sicilian beginnings and New York rise of a young Don Vito, now played in an Oscar®-winning* performance for Best Supporting Actor by Robert De Niro. The other shows the ascent of Michael (Al Pacino) as the new Don. Released: 21st March 2022. Newly restored and remastered in Dolby Vision, all three films in the landmark saga are released together on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray™ for the first time ever. The 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray set will include The Godfather, The Godfather: Part II, and three versions of The Godfather: Part III: the theatrical cut (first time ever on home media), Coppola’s 1991 cut, and Coppola’s recently re-edited version of the final film, Mario Puzo’s THE GODFATHER, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone. The disc set includes commentaries by Coppola on The Godfather, The Godfather: Part II and the 1991 cut of The Godfather: Part III. Plus special features on a blu-ray disc. Director Francis Ford Coppola and continues to explore each of the three films in some depth, primarily through photos, which are also captioned with Like the first film, The Godfather: Part II comes to life with an equally stunning 4K Ultra HD Dolby Vision (and HDR10) transfer. Those first scenes in the early 1900s Sicily just make you sit there and say “wow!” - It’s genuinely incredible from frame one to that final iconic closing shot. Given the time period and where the story moves into the old streets of New York, courtrooms, and into the streets of 1950s Cuba, there are a lot of brightly lit sequences to fully appreciate the range of colors, details, and amazing production design that went into the making of this film. This film more than the others in the trilogy amazes me that Gordon Willis didn’t score an Oscar let alone a nomination for his cinematography.to the UHD format. For this release American Zoetrope and Paramount "undertook a painstaking restoration of all three films over the course of three The Godfather: Home Movies – 9 minutes of 8mm footage taken during the filming of the original film. dark gold and inlaid into the surface.

The Filmmakers: Francis Ford Coppola, Mario Puzo, Gordon Willis, Dean Tavoularis, Nino Rota, Carmine Coppola Capturing the Corleone’s: Through the Lens of Photographer Steve Schapiro – A 13 minute piece with the photographer as he discusses his take on the films, their themes and legacy. WGC and HDR, in Dolby Vision, gives a life to the colour palette that SD cannot handle, while maintaining the look and feel that character. Just like the original, it was a huge success winning multiple awards and accolades and has the distinction of being both an origin and conclusion story – if only it had stayed that way. Flash Gordon: Limited Edition* (with extra swag) ( US/ UK from Studio Canal) – 8/18/2020 – REVIEW – N4K, DVFor more Godfather-based content, take a look at the first official teaser from The Offer, the upcoming Paramount Plus TV series that details The Godfather's difficult development. Inland Empire (2006) (US) – Possible for 2023 (restoration confirmed with David Lynch's participation) – N4K François Truffaut: The Adventures of Antoine Doinel (The 400 Blows, Antonine and Colette, Stolen Kisses, Bed and Board, Love on the Run—NO ENGLISH SUBTITLES) ( FR) – 12/1/21 – N4K Coppola was to follow his epic masterpiece with the equally ambitious and audacious The Godfather Part II, a sequel/prequel that is often thought of as even better. Brilliant though that second film is, I think the original will always have the edge in its simplicity, clarity and brutal power. The Godfather trilogy, taken as a whole, can be regarded as a masterpiece. Part I and Part II easily fit that description and remain essential viewing for any film fan, and whilst Part III, even in its newest, director favoured cut, doesn’t manage to reach those lofty heights, it does nevertheless maintain the gravitas and brings to a close a legacy that continues to endure. When picture, sound, design, story, casting and themes come together, a truly special film therein lies; to do that twice is practically unheard of – Coppola managed it with The Godfather, little wonder it continues to enthral to this day.
