PANAJI: Entertainment Society of Goa’s Cinephile Film Club will screen ‘The Godfather II’, on Thursday 28th July at Maquinez Palace, Old GMC Complex here at 6.20 pm.
Close on the heels of the highly successful screening last week, Sachin Chatte will host the cult classic directed by Francis Ford Coppola and the first sequel ever to win an Oscar for Best Picture.
The Godfather II is one of those rare films that is considered as good or even better than the original film by some critics and audiences. Partly based on Mario Puzo’s book (he served as a screenplay co-writer), the film explores the early days of Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro replacing Brando) as a ‘prequel’, while it also traces Michael’s (Al Pacino) expansion of the Corleone empire.
The film was nominated for 11 Oscars and won 6, including Best Picture, Best Director for Coppola, Best Supporting Actor for De Niro, and Best Adapted Screenplay for Coppola and Puzo. Meanwhile, the membership for the film club is open. Visit esg.co.in and register online, states a press release.
