Paramount The Godfather: The Coppola Restoration Gift Set (The Godfather / The Godfather Part II / The Godfather Part III)

The Godfather saga is to this day one of the very best trilogies ever filmed and these videos are Redigitized to perfection! I definitely recommend you get this box set !

Si la vidéo n'a pas la définition des films récents, je doit féliciter le travail de restauration de l'image (aucun défaut). Je trouvais le début du premier film trop sombre, presque noir, mais dans le bonus, il nous explique pourquoi. La VF est très claire. Et le BR Bonus est excellent. De plus cette version "The Godfather Coppola Restoration [Blu-ray] [Import anglais] " est entièrement en français (menu+ VF 5.1) avec 4 BR dans des boitiers indépendants et une boite en carton (toutes les jaquettes sont en anglais) et ne coûte que 16,74 euro. Une très bonne affaire. Je le recommande.

esta edicion inglesa contiene las tres peliculas remasterizadas bajo supervisión propio coppola con un disco extra con el material del antiguo dvd y extras nuevos.eso sin castellano.solo lo lleva disco extras.eso si no te importa el precio es un regalo

A fantastic boxset where the trilogy is presented in an excellent HD transfer and full of extra. Watching it again I must say that the first film looks now, if not better than the second one, usually considered the real masterpiece of the trilogy, at least at the same level. I'm not saying that the 2nd is not still great (with its double storyline set in the past and the other showing how everything "evolved" and changed since De Niro poor origins, and its intense drama and strong political and social statement about the twisted side of American dream) but the first one is maybe even more consistent and compelling. It still looks closer to classic gangster's stories, but Brando's character and performance really make it so special and the directing style looks different, darker, even more shakespearing (and less political) than the sequel. What makes those two films unique is that, maybe for the first time in cinema history, the sequel actually is a prequel and a sequel at the same time, so you jump back in the past to see how it all started and it draws a parallel line with how the saga unfolds and evolves as Pacino replace Brando. The third chapter is still the weakest and, despite some bold and provocative statement about italian politics, it loses that sense of almost sacred tragedy and the characters become more like those of a common crime film, as the story focuses too much on showing Mafia new connections and business, and on dramatic relationships among new characters that look just more common without being either tragic or realistic. Frankly too long and not so interesting or tragic.
