Why Choose Italy for Your Wedding?

The architectural splendor of Florence, the historical significance of Rome, and the coastal elegance of the Amalfi Coast make Italy an unforgettable place to say “I do.”

Cultural Significance

Italian culture revolves around love, passion, and family—values that are at the heart of every wedding. Whether you're drawn to the elegance of a traditional Catholic wedding in an ancient basilica or a relaxed celebration at a countryside villa, Italy has a rich array of customs to enhance your nuptials.

Culinary Delights

Italy is also synonymous with exquisite food and wine. Couples and their guests can indulge in authentic Italian cuisine that will make the wedding day even more unforgettable.

A wedding photographer’s role goes far beyond simply taking pictures. They are tasked with documenting the day in a way that tells the story of the couple, capturing moments that may have otherwise gone unnoticed. Choosing the Best Wedding Photographer Italy offers is crucial for ensuring these moments are immortalized beautifully.

Key Qualities of a Great Wedding Photographer

Creativity and Artistic Vision: A photographer needs to have an artistic eye that sees beyond the conventional. They should be able to capture not only posed shots but also candid moments that reveal genuine emotion.

Adaptability: Weddings are unpredictable. The best photographers are those who can adapt to various lighting conditions, weather changes, and other unforeseen circumstances without missing a beat.

Understanding of Italian Landscapes: Italy’s unique terrain, lighting, and historical venues require a deep understanding of the local environment. A photographer who knows how to work with these elements can elevate a photo from beautiful to breathtaking.

Tips for Choosing the Best Wedding Photographer Italy Can Provide

Portfolio Review: The first step in selecting a photographer is reviewing their portfolio. Pay attention to how they capture emotion, use lighting, and frame their shots.

Testimonials and Reviews: Client feedback can give invaluable insight into a photographer's professionalism, reliability, and ability to deliver on their promises.

Communication Skills: Your photographer should be easy to communicate with. You need someone who understands your vision and can bring it to life.

Packages and Pricing: Ensure the photographer’s pricing is transparent and that there are no hidden costs. Be clear about what is included in the package—such as pre-wedding shoots, full-day coverage, and post-wedding photo editing.

The Role of a Cinematic Wedding Videographer Italy Can Provide

While photographs capture a moment, videos can transport you back to the day, allowing you to relive the event in its entirety. A Cinematic Wedding Videographer Italy has can turn your wedding into a film that showcases not just the main events but also the in-between moments that make the day special.

What Is Cinematic Wedding Videography?

Cinematic videography goes beyond the traditional wedding video format, which often consists of long, continuous shots. Instead, it brings a more creative, story-driven approach to wedding films. By focusing on storytelling, emotion, and the art of filmmaking, a cinematic wedding videographer creates a video that feels like a Hollywood production, where you and your partner are the stars.

Key Elements of a Cinematic Wedding Video

Storytelling: A cinematic wedding video is more than just a series of events filmed in sequence. It tells the story of the couple’s love, using voiceovers, interviews, and key moments to create a narrative.

High-Quality Equipment: To achieve the cinematic feel, top-of-the-line cameras, drones, and editing software are essential. The Best Cinematic Wedding Videographer Italy provides will have access to these tools to create high-quality films.

Music and Sound Design: The right soundtrack can elevate a video from ordinary to extraordinary. Sound design and music selection play a crucial role in setting the mood and evoking emotions.

Professional Editing: Post-production is where the magic happens. A skilled editor can weave together various shots, include special effects, and ensure the film flows seamlessly from one scene to the next.

Choosing the Right Cinematic Wedding Videographer Italy Has to Offer

View Their Previous Work: Watch multiple wedding videos they have produced to get a sense of their style, pacing, and creativity.

Discuss Your Vision: Be clear about your expectations, whether you prefer a more traditional video or something highly stylized and cinematic.

Budget Consideration: Cinematic videography may come with a higher price tag due to the equipment, crew, and editing involved. Make sure the package you choose aligns with your budget without compromising quality.

Professionalism and Experience: Ensure that the videographer is experienced in working with high-end weddings in Italy, as the unique landscape and architecture require a nuanced approach.

Walking on Sunshine (2014)

Walking on Sunshine is a 2014 British jukebox musical romantic comedy-drama film directed by Max Giwa and Dania Pasquini. The film features popular hit songs from the 1980s and is often compared to Mamma Mia!. The plot of Walking on Sunshine revolves around a young woman who travels to a beautiful coastal village in Italy to attend her sister's impromptu wedding. She soon discovers that the groom is her ex-boyfriend whom she’s still in love with. The story unfolds with a backdrop of sunny beaches and features plenty of singing and dancing to iconic 80s hits. The film is known for its energetic musical numbers and vibrant settings, even though it received mixed reviews for its storyline and character development.

What are the social aspects within the film’s narrative that align with the film’s songs? 

In Walking on Sunshine, the use of vibrant 1980s pop songs directly correlates with the film’s themes of love, joy, and summer romance. Each song is chosen to enhance the film's emotional landscape and reinforce the relationships and conflicts between characters. For instance, the title track "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and The Waves is emblematic of the film's overall atmosphere of celebratory love and carefree spirit. The social context here is a nostalgic callback to the 1980s, a time perceived as colorful and full of energy, which mirrors the scenic, lively Italian wedding setting in the film.

How do the historiographies of previously recorded songs inform audience relationships with the musical’s narrative and performers? 

The songs selected for Walking on Sunshine carry with them decades of history and individual memories, which help to establish a deeper connection between the audience and the narrative. The film's remix/rendition of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "Wild Boys" are pivotal in invoking a specific emotional and cultural recall from the audience. "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun," a feminist anthem of self-expression and independence, resonates with the film’s portrayal of strong, independent women navigating love and personal desires. This rendition allows the audience to connect with the characters' journeys through a familiar lens of empowerment and youthful rebellion. This song is interwoven with "Wild Boys" by Duran Duran. With its wild and energetic vibes, "Wild Boys" is used to underline themes of unruly passion and the tumultuous relationships among the characters. The use of these songs (as well as the costume choices in these scenes) not only enhances the narrative but also activates the audience's personal and collective memories, influencing their reception of the film's events and character arcs.

What musical genre/style drives the film’s score, and how does the genre/style (re)define the film as a musical? 

Walking on Sunshine leverages the pop genre, particularly hits from the 1980s, as its driving musical force. Unlike traditional musicals that might rely on Broadway-style numbers, this film’s score is composed entirely of pre-existing pop songs. This choice significantly redefines the film’s classification within the musical genre by merging pop culture with cinematic storytelling. The upbeat and synthesizer-heavy music typical of the 1980s not only supports the film's energetic dance sequences and vibrant aesthetics but also modernizes the musical genre for an audience that might not connect with traditional musical theater. This redefinition makes the genre more accessible and relatable to a broader, possibly younger audience.

Movies I watched this week (#177):

2 Stanley Donen musicals with Jane Powell:

🍿 I've been worn-out with so many mediocre movies recently, so I decided to open the week with the charming Royal wedding (1951). The nonsensical romantic plot about the bachelor-siblings each falling in love in England, wasn't first rate, and Jane Powell was no Ginger Rogers. But with 2 famous dance numbers, 'The hatrack duet', and 'The rotating room' (Gif Above) and a couple of others, it got me to a good start. Like all musicals from that era, I'm always taken by how subtle is the editing of all these dances, they feel like they're composed of single continuing takes.

With a surprising role to Winston Churchill's actual daughter, Sarah, as the dancing paramour.

🍿 Seven brides for seven brothers on the other hand was impossible to enjoy. A myth-building fantasy of out-dated gender and sexual politics that would never work today. 7 "incel" backwoodsmen, all virgins - and gingers - kidnap 7 wholesome woman, to make them fall in love with them, sung to a happy tune about the literal 'Rape of the Sabine women'. And it all goes down from there. It also feature sub-par musical score, and second-rate dancing numbers, with full-on uninspiring cast. 'Stockholm Syndrome: The movie', and Harrison Butker's Feel-good Guilty Pleasure. 1/10.

🍿

2 more with the original “Joker”, Conrad Veidt:

🍿 The cabinet of Dr. Caligari, a dark, distorted and transgressive story from 1920, the original German Expressionistic horror film. Somnambulism, serial murderer, oppressive authoritarianism and fearful insanity. Played in a distinct visual style, with a suspicious Schopenhauer-looking Dr. Caligari, theatrical rather than a cinematic feel, and a subconscious dread that the little village world we thought we knew, maybe is an insane asylum in disguise. The id of the Weimar Republic, in the years between the end of the first World War, and the Beer Hall Putsch. WOW! 9/10.

🍿 In Michael Powell's childish The thief of Bagdad, Veidt played the evil villain Jaffar in brown-face. Like 'One thousand and one nights' it's a mixed collection of theatrical adventures from the 'mysterious orients', Persia, India, Egypt and Mesopotamia. So basically how England saw the exotic "colonies" at the peak of its empire. It tells of flying horses, magic carpets, giant spiders and a genie in a bottle. Cheesy and kitschy. 3/10.

🍿

After waiting for many months for Alex Garland's semi-controversial Civil war, it finally dropped. But the most radical aspect of the movie is Its Name, the fact that it dared look at the future and call it what it is without sugarcoating it. As a political thriller, the discussion it may foster outside the plot is more interesting than the story of these journalists as they chase after a scoop. I still want to see a movie about the upcoming Civil War of 2027, but this one kind-of-missed the mark. There were two memorable scenes in it, the brutal confrontation of (uncredited!) Jesse Plemons, and the bold execution of the President of the US, as he's begging for his life on the floor. 7/10.

🍿

Miyazaki's re-watches X 4:

🍿 First time re-Watch ♻️: Hayao Miyazaki's romanticized homage to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Porco Rosso. Sea pirates of the Adriatic Sea in 1930's Italy, led by a Errol Flynn hero in the 'Red Barron' mold, but who'd been mysteriously transformed into a pig. Miyazaki's fascination with early century European fantasies, as well as his dreams of flying and many steampunk airships. Straight adventure in a Tintin style animation, with familiar Joe Hisaishi score. 9/10.

🍿 When 'The boy and the heron' finally hits here, I may go back and watch all of Ghibli Studio movies once more. Until then, checking out Miyazaki's many shorts, some of which he made for display at their museum. Mei and the Kittenbus (2002) is a cute riff on 'My neighbor Totoro'. (This copy is of poor quality).

🍿 On Your Mark (1995) is a beautiful fairy tale in 'Blade Runner' style about 2 young policemen who are saving a winged girl. A sci'-fi music video. 7/10.

🍿 Yuki's Sun, an early short from 1972, about another strong-willed girl, an orphan who perseveres.

🍿

Otto Preminger's deferential political drama Advise & Consent from 1962, about a senate hearing to confirm Henry Fonda as a secretary of State which develops into a play about conformity of the institutions. Two boogeymen haunt the world of Washington DC, the spectre of communism, and the shame of homosexuality. Cynical and inspired. Also, Charles Laughton's last role. 7/10.

🍿

Life belongs to us (1936) is an unusual documentary: A pure propaganda film commissioned by The French Communist Party in 1936. It was supervised by Jean Renoir, and directed by Jacques Becker and a collective of other filmmakers. Solidarity with the proletariat, and against the exploiting capitalists of the ruling class, as well as fascism, and unabashedly pro-Soviet and pro-Stalin. Historically interesting.

🍿

French photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson was among these co-directing the Communist film above. He also did for the documentary Reunion (1946). It's about the logistical and human aspects of transporting millions of displaced people and POW's after the end of World War 2. Includes footage from Dachau.

🍿

Another Reunion (2024) - this is a new 'whodunit' murder mystery, with 7 youngish characters stuck in a an isolated mansion when one of them is shot to death. They were going for the delightful 'Game Night' vibes (and even had one of the actors in both films). It didn't get great reviews, but I enjoyed it. 7/10.

"So what you are trying to say... is... that the killer is one of us" timestamps at 35:00, exactly 1 hour before the end of the movie.

🍿

I've never been a huge Julia Roberts fan, but in Erin Brockovich she slayed it. With her tits out, short skirts and bimbo heels, her struggling single mother who takes no shit from anybody, spunky, relentless and resolute, she's irresistible and mesmerizing. A terrific feminist role, with Soderbergh's famous yellow filter, and the real Erin Brokovich as the waitress in the beginning. I love everything about it, the rhythm, edit, score and humor. "Scott" the guy at the water board office with his funky pants, mousy Tracey Walter, the 'Happy ending' when the David's win over Goliath for a change.

Also, I haven't been to Hinkley, but spent too much time in Adelanto, another Armpit of a desert hell-hole close by, so the locations were all very familiar. And so good - 10/10. Another of my frequent comfort re-watches ♻️.

🍿

3 earlier works by Steven Spielberg:

🍿 "You ain't getting shit out of me!..."

Spielberg's only comedy 1941, a juvenile orgy of noisy destruction. A nonsensical excuse for exaggerated big budget mayhem, with too much going on but without a single joke which lands. It does have Toshiro Mifune though, and a constipated Slim Pickens. I only re-watched it, because the girl who played the first shark attack victim in 'Jaws', repeated the same role here, and because she just died last week. Otherwise 2/10. ♻️.

🍿 Firelight, Spielberg's very first feature film, made in 1964 when he was 17. Only 3 minutes were ever released of the two hours plus science-fiction. He later used a similar UFO story in 'Close encounters of the third kind'.

🍿 Amblin' (1968), his first completed film shot on 35 mm, about 2 hippy hitchhikers, a boy and a girl, who meet at the desert. This was the film that led to Spielberg being signed for a long term contract with Universal, the youngest person ever.

🍿 Also, Martin Scorsese's first film, What's a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This? made in 1963 while still a student. A light New-Wave tale about a writer obsessed with a painting. It was the first collaboration with the then 23-year-old Thelma Schoonmaker, who helped him shape it into a slick story.

🍿

First watch: I've never seen any chapters of the franchise, but after that laudatory New Yorker article about George Miller, I decided to check out his original 1979 Mad Max. Dystopian societal collapse? Near future ecocide? Sign me up. It's a senseless car-culture nightmare world with strutting, beserk gangs of psychopathic Droogs. But it has nice, empty roads driving nowhere, and baby-face Mel Gibson looking innocent and not-yet formed, exacting his revenge.

🍟🍟

“Pretty good bullshit right there.”

Morgan Spurlock's last docudrama Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken!, an excellent follow-up to his original success. An ironic experiment about the American pastime of consuming fast food, over-eating junk and getting fat. A clever story, showing how the fast food industry had re-branded itself as 'healthier' in recent decades, but stayed as poisonous and corrupt as always. Meanwhile, in a real life installation, he became a chicken farmer himself, and opened a real fried chicken sandwich restaurant in Toledo, OH, to prove his point that marketed 'Health' is fake hype. 8/10.

Interestingly, at the same time as this film in 2017, in the midst of the #MeToo movement, he outed himself, admitted to be a sexual harasser, and self-ended his career.

RIP, Morgan Spurlock!

🍟 🍟

I didn't watch Craig Ferguson's late night show when it was running, but I like his shtick, and his 2017 stand up Craig Ferguson: Tickle Fight is very funny. I found it on the giant Wikipedia list of Netflix Original Stand Up Specials. 9/10.

🍿

The Life of the Jews in Palestine is a fascinating 1-hour documentary from 1913, silent of course, and created by a Jewish Ukrainian-Russian filmmaker to be shown at the 11th Zionist Congress in Vienna that year.

With crystal-clear cinematography, it's a travelogue into an unknown land, full of agriculture, before the introduction of cars, and showing certain harmony before the fuck-ups began. 8/10.

🍿

Spacey Unmasked, a disgusting BBC exposé about fallen hero, great actor and despicable sexual predator Kevin Spacey. A Harvey Weinstein of the gay type. So his father was a literal Nazi who raped his brother... And yes, creepy Frank Underwood was a Force of Nature....

🍿

4 Way-off left field animated shorts:

🍿 Veter (“Wind”), one of the few wild Armenian films from the Soviet era that I've seen (apart from 'The Color of Pomegranates'). Bizarre permutations at a nuclear test site. An absurdist, post-Chernobyl take on WarGames. Without a dialogue, but with a sudden burst of "We are the world" sung by dinosaurs, with inflated sex dolls and deranged video games. Must be seen to be believed! 8/10.

I wonder what kind of hallucinogenic drugs were available over there around 1988?

🍿 Watching TV, a National Film Board of Canada satire from 1994, about violence on television. 7/10. I’m so glad I never watched TV.

🍿 Tomorrow's Leaves, a beautiful, symbolic poem about nature and sports. My second by the Japanese Studio Ponoc. They were illustrators who had left Ghibli, and it shows.

🍿 The Tale of the Silly Little Mouse, a standard Russian cartoon from 1940. It's about a baby mouse who can't fall asleep. With music by Shostakovich. 1/10.

🍿

Charles Blavette and Celia Montalván in Toni (Jean Renoir, 1935) Cast: Charles Blavette, Celia Montalván, Édouard Delmont, Max Dalban, Jenny Hélia, Michael Kovachevitch, Gabi. Screenplay: Jean Renoir, Jacques Levert. Cinematography: Claude Renoir. Production design: Leon Bourrely. Film editing: Suzanne de Troeye, Marguerite Renoir. Music: Paul Bozzi. Authenticity in movies is like sincerity in politics: If you can fake it, you've got it made. Jean Renoir's Toni is a venture into realism, the quest for the kind of authenticity produced by using non-professional actors and shooting on location without resort to studio-built sets. Like the films of the Italian neorealist directors who admired and imitated Toni, it focuses on the struggles of the working class, in this case the immigrant workers from Spain, Italy, and North Africa who come to the South of France seeking jobs on the farms and, in the case of the Italian Antonio "Toni" Canova (Charles Blavette), the quarries. The film begins with Toni's arrival on a train; as the workers spread out on their search, we follow Toni as he knocks on the door of a boarding house run by Marie (Jenny Hélia). Then there's an abrupt cut in which time has passed and we see that Toni is now sharing Marie's bed. It's a time jump that Renoir will use several times over the course of the film. While still with Marie, Toni falls in love with Josefa (Celia Montalván), a Spanish woman, but she agrees to marry the brutish Albert (Max Dalban), who is Toni's boss at the quarry. Toni proposes that he and Marie join them in a double wedding ceremony. After another time jump, Josefa has had a baby and named Toni as the godfather, a role that doesn't please Marie at all. As the marriage of Toni and Marie disintegrates, he moves out of the house and she attempts suicide. Eventually, the relationship of Toni and Josefa ends in calamity, and as the film ends we have a reprise of the opening scene: Another train arrives, with yet another group of laborers. Toni is, as we should expect from Renoir, a work of great cinematic sophistication used to create a sense of simple immediacy, of witnessing real lives unfold. The story, while often melodramatic, maintains its documentary quality by relying on ambient sound and the deglamorization of its players. The polyglot cast is utterly convincing, and for once the viewer reliant on subtitles may be at something of an advantage over those just listening to the dialogue: Even if you know only a little French you can tell that the accents are thick and varied. But the film is also often visually quite beautiful: It was the first collaboration of Renoir with his nephew, Claude, as cinematographer, who achieves some quite striking nighttime scenes without resorting to the filtered or underexposed daylight shooting known as "day for night" or, in France, la nuit américaine.

The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone Proves a Little Less is Infinitely More

https://ift.tt/3qHYl3B

This Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone analysis contains spoilers.

The ending will be discussed at length. If you haven’t seen it, I’ll make you an offer you can’t refuse. Find the film, watch it with fresh eyes, then come back and celebrate The Death of Michael Corleone.

“The power to absolve debt is greater than the power of forgiveness,” Michael Corleone observes in the revelatory new opening of Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone. He may well be speaking for Francis Ford Coppola. The Godfather Part III concluded the family saga, made a profit for Paramount Pictures, and garnered seven Oscar nominations in its time, but Coppola has never been forgiven for it. The 1990 film has such an undeserved reputation, it almost feels like there was a vendetta against it. Having seen the new cut several times, the director can finally be absolved of sins he never committed.

Coppola’s finale has been bashed for its structure. Critics said he was just going through the motions and the arc of the first two films, and doing it much too slowly. However, the filmmaker was making one long film, and this is the conclusion. It references the other two films because the reality which forms this family history is well known. It is canon, the arcs are similar because each film dissembles William Shakespeare’s King Lear. The Godfather, Part III also has the balls to wear its opera cape up front, and it’s a Sicilian one. But does it move as slow as critics accused? We get an ear bite in the first quarter, a helicopter mass execution, and enough intrigue for three Hitchcock films.

The Godfather, Coda is not much different than The Godfather Part III. Coppola only cut five minutes from the 162 minutes of the original. But like a good haircut, it makes a difference, even though I think he took too much off the top. The streamlining speeds it up and makes it feel more tragic. Michael’s regrets are palpable, the dangers he and his family face are recognizable. It’s the same movie but tighter. The Godfather and The Godfather Part II are perfect films, like Casablanca or Citizen Kane, not a single scene is less than flawlessly framed, acted, and situated. The third one is a little sloppy. It happens. Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets is sloppy and works perfectly because of it. To this writer, Mean Streets packs more of an emotional punch than Goodfellas, which is also cinematic perfection from setup to cut. The Godfather III is rough around the edges.

Coppola loves the editing room as much as any wine vineyard. He recut Apocalypse Now Redux, and added scenes which may not have been imperative, but are wholly welcome. Coppola filled in the storyline to The Cotton Club for his reworking. When The Godfather trilogy was recut and re-released as a seven-hour chronological saga, it was like hearing the Beatles’ White Album with discarded tracks included. Scenes which landed on the cutting room floor were put back in. The Godfather, Coda takes scenes out. We get less of Eli Wallach’s Machiavellian cannoli-lover Don Altobello, which is a shame because his performance has grown on me since my initial viewing. Coppola also cuts Talia Shire’s Connie Corleone when she goes full-on Lucretia Borgia, ordering an execution in a chapel.

The Godfather Part III is the purest of the saga’s films in terms of cinematic input. The first film was a masterful adaptation of Mario Puzo’s book. The second one also drew heavily from the book. By the third, the motion picture saga was on its own. Part III was also the first of the films which didn’t have the Godfather himself, Vito Corleone, in it. Marlon Brando’s performance is more than iconic; it is Americana itself. Robert De Niro bridges generations as the young Vito in The Godfather Part II. Al Pacino’s Michael is the only godfather here.

“The Pope, the Holy Father, on this very day has blessed Michael Corleone. You think you know better than the Pope?”

The original cut of The Godfather Part III opens on the flooded Corleone compound in Lake Tahoe and dissolves to Old St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Lower Manhattan’s Little Italy. The Godfather, Coda opens with a low-angle establishing shot of the exterior of St. Patrick’s Cathedral. It looks like a relic of another time. It is surrounded by the cold steel and glass of modern architecture. The midtown cathedral represents old money.

The first scene is a meeting between Michael Corleone and head of the Vatican Bank, Archbishop Gilday (Donal Donnelly). The Vatican is selling controlling shares in real estate conglomerate Internazionale Immobiliare to the Corleone family. These details don’t come out until 30 minutes into The Godfather Part III. By now putting the Vatican meeting at the beginning, followed by the Vito Corleone Foundation celebration, it fits better into the structure of The Godfather, and gives the proper weight to the deals with the Holy Roman Church.

The scene also reestablishes the Corleones as a family of great wealth. They have so much money they can bail out the Vatican. We don’t know how they made that money; we get very little detail about the years between The Godfather Part II and the late 1970s, when The Godfather, Coda is set.

We assume the Corleones had nothing to do with heroin, probably sidestepped any involvement in the Kennedy assassination, and stuck with the traditional vices, which could be best maneuvered into real power. We can imagine a Hoffa scenario because of their union involvement, but we get little indications of business beyond the chase for legitimacy. With this deal, Michael will be one of the wealthiest men in the world.

Moving the meeting also casts the archbishop in the same role that the funeral director played in the opening scene of The Godfather. The priest’s favor becomes his regret, but in a way that inverts the structure of the original film. The funeral director came to Don Corleone seeking justice after chasing the American dream, believing in it with all his soul as much as he believed in holy Mary, mother of God.

Archbishop Gilday’s impossible dream is to turn that around, to siphon the American success of the Corleone family back to Italy, after skimming his part, of course. Michael is awarded the Order of St. Sebastian from the Catholic Church after the charity run by his daughter Mary (Sofia Coppola) donates $100 million to the institution. Immobiliare is the other side of the coin, and it is a beautiful flip.

The move also fits the film closer to the original 1972 classic, positioning the Vito Corleone Foundation ceremony as the wedding scene, and introducing us to the players, and the ones who don’t play well with others. Joe Mantegna plays Joey Zasa, who is a stand-in for the John Gotti ascendancy, running Don Corleone’s old territory now that the family has moved up. Eli Wallach ties us into the family behind the family. Vincent Mancini is the bastard son of Sonny Corleone and his mistress Lucy. Actor Andy Garcia clearly enjoys this part. He turns into James Caan a few times.

Sofia Coppola’s performance has been called flat, amateurish, and not in the same universe as the rest of the film. Mary is an important part. For most of the audience, she is the most recognizable character as far as an entry into the world of the underworld. Sofia did it because her father needed her, and quickly. Winona Ryder’s unexpected bout of physical exhaustion didn’t fit with Paramount’s time schedule, and the studio’s replacement options didn’t fit the age of the character.

Coppola’s 18-year-old daughter, Sofia, still had baby fat on her face. She’d made appearances in Rumble Fish and Peggy Sue Got Married, and was used to working with her father, even though she was not an actor. European filmmakers cast non-actors all the time; they bring a real quality to roles. Lenny Montana, who played Luca Brasi in The Godfather, was a former wrestler who came to the set as the bodyguard of a ranking Colombo family member. Martin Scorsese’s mother Catherine makes an appearance in The Godfather Part III. Sofia is playing herself, a college freshman who wants to help her father.

This makes the gnocchi scene feel almost uncomfortably incestuous. Mary is Vincent’s first cousin, and we can see in the way they look at each other; it’s wrong even though it feels so right. Sofia is natural in her scenes, not emotive. She is the tourist the audience needs to circumnavigate the treacherous waters. Mary is the civilian who becomes the collateral damage of the Corleone family life. She takes the bullet intended for her father, Don Michael Corleone. Sofia did the same for her father, becoming the scapegoat for a job she took to get his movie in on time.

Redeeming The Legacy Of The Godfather Part III

Culture

The Real Goodfellas: Gangsters That Inspired the Martin Scorsese Film

By Tony Sokol

Mary’s death scene has been called the worst in the history of motion pictures. It never was, and as presented in the recut, it’s entirely, emotionally effective. It’s not Bette Davis in Dark Victory, and even though it happens on the stone steps of a church, it isn’t James Cagney’s death scene in The Roaring Twenties. It isn’t meant to be. It is sad. The death itself is one of the most underplayed in film, but the music gives it the tragedy to match Michael’s reaction.

It is hard to resist the pull of the music when considering how much of a worthy ending this cut is to The Godfather saga. The themes are the trilogy’s blood and wine. Composer Nino Rota tells us when to celebrate and how to mourn. We relive Michael’s lost love Appollonia more through our ear’s memory than we do from the faded black and white photograph in the old Sicilian villa. And his reunion with Kay evokes the post-war era they met in. The music ties the film together so beautifully that this time around it feels like the skin of the original, rather than its clothes.

By the end of the film, the emperor has no clothes. Michael thinks he can break a glass ceiling through legitimate business but admits “The higher I go, the crookeder it becomes.” Senators and presidents have men killed. The church is no different. Legitimacy is an illusion. Coppola saw The Godfather Part III as an epilogue. Paramount wanted to grow a franchise. Coppola had to be persuaded to make a sequel to the first film. Paramount wanted Coca-Cola instead of wine. And they treated The Godfather Part III like the Fredo of Godfather movies.

Fredo is all over this film. How he died is the first question Mary asks Vincent. It’s the last rite in Michael’s confession to the Vatican priest who will become Pope, a scene which contains one of the funniest exchanges in the film. Michael tells Cardinal Lamberto (Raf Vallone) a list of his sins would take up too much time. The first cut may have been the deepest, but the final cut in The Godfather, Coda is the most ironic. Coppola adds the subtitle, in quotations, apart from the puppeteer logo of the films and book, and then takes exactly that promise away.

The final scene cut from The Death of Michael Corleone is the death of Michael Corleone.

The Godfather Part III ends as Michael is sitting alone outside a villa in Sicily. All family debts have been settled, but he has no family left. He is wearing dark glasses, slumps in his chair, loses his grip on the orange in his lap, and falls dead to the ground. Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone ends, not only with him still alive, but wishing him Cent’anni, telling the audience it means “for long life” and reminding viewers “a Sicilian never forgets.”

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

The phrase actually translates to 100 years. Imagine how many Godfather sequels could be made in that time. Michael is left alive, alone. Atonement is beyond him. He loses his family just as he is on the precipice of finally being able to give them what they need. But the coda to Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone is an allegory to what Paramount wanted, more life. Yes, Al Pacino’s Don Michael Corleone spent all this time waiting for them to pull him back in.

The Godfather, Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone is available now on Blu-ray and digital.

WOMEN OF THE WORLD

This movie more or less opens on a scene in which, we are told by a genteel narrator, an all-male island tribe waits for a beached seal to die so they can gang rape its corpse. I have to wonder what people expected when this movie, from the team behind the abundantly titillating MONDO CANE films, began to make its theatrical rounds. It's important to remember that the mondo genre was created by ex-newsreel journalists who wanted to put to death the pretentious idea that film can deliver objective truth. With this in mind, Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi set out to create the most vivid, confrontational, emotionally manipulative documentaries (if you want to call them that) ever made, exposing every form of human life in the harshest light possible. No type of person is spared this cinematic vivisection, although the filmmakers' favorite subjects are certainly people who do not resemble themselves--that is, anyone who might be described as tribal, people from the "mysterious orient", people from backwater worlds with startling rules and rites...and of course, women. No one who has seen MONDO CANE 1 & 2, which produce an agitation heretofore known only in pornography, would be surprised to learn that Jacopetti and Prosperi also made a picture exclusively dedicated to the so-called fair sex.

While mondo movies offer a valuable critique of the documentary genre's self-righteousness, they also come with an unpleasant accusation against the viewer. "This is you, and if you deny it then you're a hypocrite," they mean to say, when they flaunt decontextualized "evidence" of hideous racial stereotypes, or images of "civilized" people violently exploiting animals, or enviably elites degrading themselves for the sake of fashion. The astoundingly beautiful, hyper-saturated photography, and Oscar-nominated music by Riz Ortolani, only throw into high relief Jacopetti and Prosperi's ugly message. While MONDO CANE can feel like humanity literally on trial, WOMEN OF THE WORLD is like a movie from the end of the world. These filmmakers, who profess no love for their fellow man, use the archetype of woman--lovely, gentle, sensitive, at once childlike and maternal--as a general guide for their final assault on the idea that there is beauty to be found anywhere in the universe.

In WOMEN OF THE WORLD, the idea of "love" is reduced to leering hoards of men hunting for fleeting gratification; the product of "love" is tearful orphans scattered wherever one finds child prostitution and sex tourism. Feminine beauty is cold and nasty where it is used to literally enslave men, and simply pathetic where men cultivate their own elegance. Lest the filmmakers be accused of pure xenophobia, they turn the spotlight on regions of their native Italy where too-young wives suffer the brutal consummation of their weddings, while the earth around them is sewn with the corpses of girls who died fucked but unmarried, planted in graves that are anonymous and elaborately insulting. The "world" in WOMEN OF THE WORLD is one where the very idea of intimacy is farcical, simply a flimsy excuse for indescribable cruelty. And yet, who cares about the victims of this cruelty, when the movie also describes women as so hungry for validation that they'll pay top dollar for doctors to torture them in cosmetic operations that result in permanent disfigurement if they fail? Jacopetti and Prosperi place their subjects, and their viewers, in a world of hurt that they believe we both desire and deserve. Here, the black comedy of MONDO CANE is supplanted by a purer blackness that is difficult to escape, even after the lights come up.
