The Godfather

United States 1972, 175 mins
Director: Francis Ford Coppola

By almost any criterion, the most important American film of the 1970s, transforming a doorstop of pulp-fiction into an epic account of the ineradicable penetration of American life and institutions by organised crime.

A subversive saga of family values, THE GODFATHER is grounded in a sure sense of period and dramatises a particular historical moment: when a younger Mafia generation followed political, economic and cultural trends and transferred the focus of operations to the West Coast.

Superbly crafted, with Brando in the role that marked one of the greatest of comebacks and a star-making performance from Pacino.
