Cinema Tuesdays: The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone

As director Francis Ford Coppola explains it, “The Death of Michael Corleone” was his original title for what would be “The Godfather, Part III” but Paramount Pictures wasn’t having it. This new version of the film, edited by director Francis Ford Coppola in 2020, reorders a few sequences and edits others to bring the tragic story of Michael (Al Pacino) into clearer focus, and give more purpose to the plot, which involves the Corleone family’s attempts to go legit and get out of crime. But as Michael says, “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.” 158 minutes, Rated R.

This screening will be at the Santikos Northwest theater.
