The Godfather: Part III Video Essay

The Godfather: Part III is re-examined through the lens of its original title: The Death of Michael Corleone. The film’s poor reception at the time is measured against contemporary films that fit those expectations – New Jack City, Goodfellas, State of Grace, Bugsy, Donnie Brasco, Casino – and how now the film can be seen for what it was intended to be: an epilogue to the intertwined Godfathers Part I and II.
