"The Godfather: Part II is as elegant as it is expansive, acutely perceptive and operatic in his high emotions." —Jake Cole, Slant Magazine
"A grand historical epic studying the nature of power in the United States' heritage." —John H. Dorr, The Hollywood Reporter
"One of the most ambitious and brilliantly executed American films, a landmark work from one of Hollywood's top cinema eras." —Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
4K RESTORATION
The Godfather: Part II, the brilliant companion piece to the original film, continues the saga of generations of power within the Corleone family. Director Francis Ford Coppola tells two stories in this film: the roots and rise of a young Don Corleone, played with uncanny ability by Robert De Niro, and the ascension of his son Michael (Al Pacino) as the new Don. Reassembling many of the talents that helped make The Godfather such a smash hit, Coppola produced a follow-up of staggering magnitude and vision, undeniably the best sequel ever made.
The film received six Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Robert De Niro won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance.
