What is The Godfather about?
The reluctant son of a New York crime patriarch is drawn into the family business as power passes from one generation to the next.
Why watch The Godfather?
Its grandeur can obscure how intimate the tragedy is: a son becoming the very man he hoped to escape. Every shadow, promise and family ritual tightens the trap with almost ceremonial precision.
