One of the greatest films ever made

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2010)

"The Godfather Part II" is Francis Ford Coppola's finest masterpiece. Some may say that title belongs to "The Godfather" or "Apocalypse Now", which are great films as well, but not quite as astounding as this one.
This is a film about family, about crime, about a marriage, about a father and his son. Spanning from the early 1900s to the 1950s, the scope alone is awe-inspiring. Telling both the story of Vito Corleone and his son Michael, jumping back and forth, a curiously touching, poetic kind of storytelling comes to life. The film is very unconventional in that regard, but it's also a fantastic family crime drama, with moments so intense and devastating that you'll never forget it.
Of course, the film is beautifully photographed and dressed, and the acting is some of the best you will ever see. All around, it's a perfect film. There's not much more one can say about it than that.
