THE GODFATHER CODA: THE DEATH OF MICHAEL CORLEONE
Michael Corleone (Al Pacino), now in his 60s, seeks to free his family from crime and find a suitable successor to his empire. That successor could be his fiery nephew, Vincent Mancini (Andy García), but Vincent may also be the spark that turns Michael’s hope of business legitimacy into an inferno of mob violence. Facing dire financial straits in the ‘80s that began with the dismal failure of ONE FROM THE HEART, Francis Ford Coppola accepted Paramount’s request to direct a third film in the sprawling gangster saga that began with 1972’s THE GODFATHER, turning in an equally expansive exploration of power, tradition, revenge and love. The film, which received seven Academy Award® nominations, features a cast that includes — in addition to Pacino and García — Diane Keaton, Talia Shire, Eli Wallach, Sofia Coppola, Bridget Fonda and Joe Mantegna. For its 30th anniversary of the film in 2020, the film was meticulously restored under the supervision of American Zoetrope and Paramount Pictures. The restoration includes a new beginning and ending, as well as changes to scenes, shots and music cues that reflect Coppola and author Mario Puzo’s original intentions for THE GODFATHER PART III.
