The Godfather Part II

The Godfather Part II (1974) — watch online Francis Ford Coppola's crime drama on iFILM. Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton — Paramount Pictures, 200 minutes, six Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director.

The film runs on two tracks at once. In the 1950s, Michael Corleone tightens his grip on the family business, negotiates in Havana, and quietly hunts for whoever turned informant. His wife Kay grows distant. Brother Fredo is keeping dangerous company. The second track goes back to the early 1900s: a young Vito Corleone arrives in a Lower East Side tenement block, starts small, and earns his place one careful move at a time — Robert De Niro took the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this role. The two timelines never touch, but every scene in one answers a question raised by the other.

Coppola and producer Robert Evans built a film that works equally well as prequel and sequel — still regularly named among the greatest American movies ever made. Stream The Godfather Part II online on iFILM.
