The Godfather Part III

Sixteen years after making The Godfather Part II, Francis Ford Coppola shot the final part of his Godfather trilogy about Don Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) and his family, based on a story by Mario Puzo. THE GODFATHER PART III (USA 1990) begins in 1979: The family is back in New York and Michael Corleone has distanced himself from the business of drugs and casinos. He has plans to invest his millions legally, in a European real estate group, in which the Vatican Bank also has a stake. Adversaries within his own camp and machinations in the Vatican foretell a family tragedy. To mark the film's 30th anniversary in 2020, Coppola released a new and shorter version (by five minutes) called Mario Puzo's The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone. We will screen a contemporaneous 70mm print from the 1990s, with Finnish and Swedish subtitles in 1:1.85. (Hans-Joachim Fetzer)
