Ekki missa af nýárssýningu Svartra Sunnudaga – þar sem GODFATHER: PART II verður sýnd sunnudaginn 1. janúar kl 20:00. Kvikmyndin er talin vera ein sú besta allra tíma.
Saga Corleone mafíufjölskyldunnar í New York heldur áfram. Myndin segir frá því þegar “Don” Vito Corleone var ungur á Sikiley á Ítalíu, og þegar hann flytur til New York í byrjun 20. aldarinnar. Við fylgjumst með uppgangi sonar hans Michael Corleone á sjötta áratug 20. aldarinnar þegar hann reynir að stækka veldi fjölskyldunnar til Las Vegas, Hollywood og Kúbu.
Myndin var tilnefnd til ellefu Óskarsverðlauna og vann sex þeirra, sem besta kvikmyndin og fyrir bestu leikstjórn svo fátt eitt sé nefnt árið 1975.

Partially based on Puzo’s 1969 novel The Godfather, the film is both sequel and prequel to The Godfather, presenting parallel dramas: one picks up the 1958 story of Michael Corleone (Pacino), the new Don of the Corleone crime family, protecting the family business in the aftermath of an attempt on his life; the prequel covers the journey of his father, Vito Corleone (De Niro), from his Sicilian childhood to the founding of his family enterprise in New York City.
An Oscar winner for Best Picture, the film received widespread acclaim from critics, with some deeming it superior to the 1972 original. Nominated for eleven Academy Awards and the first sequel to win for Best Picture, its six Oscar wins included Best Director for Coppola, Best Supporting Actor for De Niro and Best Adapted Screenplay for Coppola and Puzo. Pacino won the BAFTA Award for Best Actor and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor.
Join us for a New Years screening of THE GODFATHER: PART II, screened on Black Sundays January 1st at 20:00.
