surprising

Rating: Null/10 (31 December 2015)

a well known film. who gives new surprises. because it is not Godfather's version but complex portrait of a way of success. brutal, cruel, inspired by the XIX century heroes out from original condition. it is not about Mafia but a category of immigrants who becomes pieces of large system , transforming values in a strange, vulgar, cold manner. Al Pacino gives a splendid role for the exposure of Montana's vulnerability in each of its aspects. a film about a choice using powerful cinematography, old clichés and a form of realism who impress again and again. maybe, a gem. or a lesson of high cinema who destroy forms and use a special message.
