Remastered and restored in 4K UHD with HDR-10 and Dolby Vision, this collection includes Oscar® winners* for Best Picture The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, alongside the acclaimed conclusion Mario Puzo’s The Godfather Coda: The Death Of Michael Corleone. Restoration Comparisons— Before and after highlights showcase extensive picture quality improvements to The Godfather. Now with Coppola’s new preferred cut Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone, The Godfather Part III does gain some semblance of redemption and actually fits a little better within the greater story established by the first two films. For starters, the editing is far less clunky. Before this review, I’d only ever seen the 1991 Director’s Cut and I always felt like the edits were uncomfortably abrupt as each scene just smashed into the next. With this new version, the rearrangement of specific scenes at the outset and some of the later segments in Sicily feel more organic and natural and actually has a richer dramatic flow. A little tighter editing around some of the more stilted line reads feels more even-handed and actually helps the weaker performances in the film. This is the movie that introduced the world to the Mafia in a way that wasn’t full of stereotypes. As director Francis Ford Coppola once remarked, many Hollywood films had previously featured Italian gangsters who all “spoke-a like-a dis” and made a big deal about loving pasta and having hair-trigger tempers. I am very proud of The Godfather, which certainly defined the first third of my creative life," said Francis Ford Coppola. "With this 50th anniversary tribute, I'm especially proud Mario Puzo's THE GODFATHER, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone is included, as it captures Mario and my original vision in definitively concluding our epic trilogy. It's also gratifying to celebrate this milestone with Paramount alongside the wonderful fans who've loved it for decades, younger generations who still find it relevant today, and those who will discover it for the first time."
RUNNER UP - PEACEMAKER The TV spin-off nobody expected, from the soft reboot sequel nobody asked for, Peacemaker is one of the best new shows of 2022. The resulting project reflects author Mario Puzo and Coppola's original intentions of The Godfather: Part III, and delivers, in the words of Coppola,"A more appropriate conclusion to The Godfather and The Godfather: Part II."' You can happily watch and be drawn into the perfect storm of Cassian’s plight in Andor oblivious to what it’s saying behind the scenes - much like you could watch the third season of Battlestar Galactica and ignore the fact that it was reframing the whole concept of what it means to be a “terrorist” by making the heroes the terrorists - but the real delicious pleasure of this clinically constructed saga is found in the dawning realisation that it has just so very much to say, and it says it all so eloquently.
