Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, CODA: The Death Of Michael Corleone
Writer
On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the film The Godfather III, director and screenwriter Francis Ford Coppola has created a new edit of the third and final part of The Godfather: Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, CODA: The Death Of Michael Corleone. Michael Corleone, reaching his sixties, wishes to distance himself from the mafia activities of his family and find a successor to his empire. However, his quest for respectability will confront him again with his demons and push him to fall back into gangsterism. The film benefits from a new beginning, a new ending, scene changes, shots and music more respectful of the original vision of author Mario Puzo and Coppola. This new opus offers, according to the director, "a more appropriate conclusion for The Godfather and The Godfather II".
