Shortly after leaving Netflix, this trilogy, considered the best of all time, returns to another streaming platform.
It is sometimes difficult to keep track of the catalog of streaming platforms. If a program disappears from one site, it may reappear on another. This goes for the best film trilogy of all time. After leaving Netflix at the end of November, it is now available on Prime Video.
The trilogy of Godfather was produced between 1972 and 1990 by Francis Ford Coppola. Even today it is considered one of the greatest cinematic works of all time, even one of the greatest masterpieces of the seventh art.
Based on the novel by Mario Puzzo, The Godfather describes the power struggle that raged between various mafia families in New York between 1945 and 1980. The plot mainly focuses on the character of Michael Corleone, played by Al Pacino. This son of a gangster initially wants to distance himself from his family’s criminal activities, but eventually becomes one of the most influential American gangsters of his time.
The cast of these three films includes some of the greatest Hollywood actors of their generation: Al Pacino, notably alongside Marlon Brando, Robert de Niro and Andy Garcia. Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, James Caan and Eli Wallach also play notable results.
The third film is often considered the least successful of the Corleone saga, but the first and second parts are regularly found in the rankings of the best films of all time. On IMDB, the first alternates between second and third place, a ranking created based on viewer ratings and reviews. It also takes second place in the American Film Institute’s ranking of the best North American films. He goes ahead Citizen Kane.
The trilogy of Godfather has received several awards. The first work notably won the 1973 Oscar for Best Picture and Best Actor for Marlon Brando (who turned it down). The second installment won six Oscars in 1975: Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor. for Robert de Niro. Ironically, the trilogy’s lead actor, Al Pacino, never won the Oscar for his interpretation of Michael Corleone (he made up for it in 1993 with…). For a weekend). Also nominated for an Oscar after its release, the third film ultimately came away empty-handed.
The three parts of Godfather have been available on Prime Video since January 15, 2024. If you haven’t seen it yet, now’s your chance to catch up on this cult trilogy!
