A dive into the life of the Corleone family. The film moves gracefully between Michael's war for the family business and the life of young Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro, in a brilliant performance that won him an Oscar) in his rise to power. Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, Lee Strassberg and John Cazale provide him with excellent support. The music of Carmine Coppola and Nino Rota is a true masterpiece. The film is professionally shot and the photography is remarkable.
