Our take on The Godfather Part II

Coppola's 1974 sequel runs two stories in parallel: young Vito Corleone's rise in early-1900s New York and Michael's cold consolidation of power decades later. The contrast — a family built, a family hollowed out — makes it one of the few sequels that deepens rather than repeats its predecessor. If the original's tragic sweep gripped you, this is its essential companion; from there, the great crime epics of family and downfall beckon.
