Showings

Spanning the years 1945 to 1955, a chronicle of the fictional Italian-American Corleone crime family. When organized crime family patriarch, Vito Corleone barely survives an attempt on his life, his youngest son, Michael steps in to take care of the would-be killers, launching a campaign of bloody revenge.

This is not only grand entertainment, but an emotional and intellectual experience to rival any in cinema.

It could be argued that Francis Ford Coppola’s film of Mario Puzo’s bestseller, at once an art movie and a commercial blockbuster, marked the dawn of the age of the mega-movie.
