Review of The Godfather (1972) by Marc R — 22 May 2014
I happen to enjoy this one more than part 2. It's leaner, and the narrative has a tighter, more hypnotic pull. Not to mention, so many moments are examples of a filmmaker in peak form: the opening wedding, the murders at the restaurant, the baptism massacre; all these moments, along w/ a peerless cast and rich subtext, solidify its status as an absolute masterpiece.
... The iconic score, however, while evocative, is merely a really good thing in a film of masterful things.
