February Film Festival

The Godfather Part II (Paramount, 1974 directed Francis Ford Coppola and starring Al Pacinon, Robert DeNiro, Robert Duvall, John Cazale and Lee Strasberg as Hyman Roth. As perfect as the Godfather was, this one's a little better. What? It's true. Here FFC does what must be done in a sequel, he expands and deepens the universe he created in the first one. He if fact surrounds the first one with both the young Vito story, and the Don Michael story. It is a breathtakingly great movie. Pacino is at his absolute best here, so are many of the others. What could have been one of film's biggest letdowns turned out to be one of film's greatest achievements. Bravo!
