Fitting end to a magical trilogy

Rating: 10/10 (26 June 2009)

A fitting end to a magical trilogy. So sad to see the Goidfather films come to an end but if they have to then this is the way to go. I know a lot of people were disappointed by the third Godfather but I genuinely can't understand why. It gives tasteful, appropriate hints of what has gone before in a nostalgic, almost wistful way. I think the acting is amazing but6 what really stands out for me in this film is the cinematography: the way ion which the colours used throughout the film are consistently of an autumnal hue, lulling us often without knowing it into the feeling of the end drawing near. It continues the intricate political and criminal plot with great delicacy and gusto. Francis Ford Coppola can be proud of this contribution to fine films.
