The Godfather, Part II (1974)

The companion piece to quite plausibly the greatest film ever made, Part II is even more convincingly the greatest sequel – a parable of the toxicity of power with staggering magnitude and vision, told/acted masterfully in contrastive generational-story arcs with plenty of expositional correlations. 9.7/10.

Plot Synopsis: The compelling sequel to “The Godfather,” contrasting the life of Corleone father and son. Traces the problems of Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) in 1958 and that of a young immigrant Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro) in 1917’s Hell’s Kitchen. Michael survives many misfortunes and Vito is introduced to a life of crime.
