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.

Nearly sixteen years after the flawless sequel comes the most flawed film of the franchise The Godfather: Part III. Or, as Coppola wants to call it now - The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone. This film was in development for ages with a variety of players attached at various moments in its genesis. Similar to another underwhelming trilogy capper - Alien 3 - there were a lot of different ideas on how to keep the series going and few of them were worth the effort. When this film finally came together it was rushed through production being written, filmed, and edited inside of a year to meet a mandated studio release date. On top of that, the best idea for the sequel wasn’t the one that made it to the screen.

The saga could have easily ended there, with Michael in the role of the lonely king on the throne, ruler of all he surveys and without enemies, but bereft of the one thing that his father said was more important than anything else. Where the first film was about the transformation of Michael, the second one is a tragedy about his “Succeed at all costs” mentality. I don’t think a third installment was necessary. Coppola’s archetypal sensibility is the hook that makes the Godfather trilogy so compelling, an emotional buttress that registers deeply through the thorny convolutions of each film’s narrative. Indeed, one of the remarkable things about The Godfather—commensurate with Brando’s performance—is how the emotional clarity of this one family’s story so powerfully emanates through the soup of business and politics. The 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.

The other two movies are touched on too. Capturing the Corleones: Through the Lens of Photographer Steve Schapiro (1080p, 13:21): The set photographer discusses his
