WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Now in his 60s, Michael Corleone (Pacino) seeks to free himself and his family from the criminal world he has overseen most of his life. He sees a potential successor in the fiery Vincent (Andy García), but it’s a decision that could jeopardise Michael’s plans…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Francis Ford Coppola presents a brand-new edit of his much-criticised trilogy closer The Godfather Part III in time for its 30th anniversary, and it may cause some critics to re-evaluate its importance in the overall Corleone crime saga.
