Viewing all three Godfather films in one weekend is just such a unique experience. Showing this collection to a first-time viewer will be almost as great as watching it yourself. All three movies look great, and the making-of docs are fascinating.

I've reviewed the three GODFATHER films in depth elsewhere on Amazon.com, so I am going to limit this review to the merely technical aspects of "The Coppolla Restoration."

First of all, it's important to watch the two "Extras" discs first, as they provide a lot of information about the restoration process, particularly the short named "Emulsional Rescue."

THE GODFATHER's original master negative was created on particularly "thin" photo stock, meaning that fewer top quality prints could be created from it. Ironically, THE GODFATHER ended up having a vast number of prints made from this thin stock. The quality of these prints deteriorated fast---much faster than with an average movie made on standard stock.

The master negative was in such poor shape when the restoration team began working that they inadvertently destroyed about thirty feet of it trying to save it. This meant that the restoration team had to find the best quality prints from all around the world and laboriously splice them together, often individual frame by frame, to reconstruct what they called their "hero" negative from which the restoration was made.

As a result, the restoration is not as good as a pristine master negative would be, even a "restored" one. This is as good as it will ever be, barring some new as-yet unimagined process.

Many reviewers have commented on the "poor" color quality of the restoration. I was fascinated (and a little befuddled) to discover that the "tangerine hell" one reviewer described in certain color scenes was intentional on the part of the cinematographer, as was the darkness of much of the film---there are scenes in which the blackness is so utterly black that it swallows the set.

No, we're not losing our eyesight.

I missed the point, too, until I thought it through. It makes a certain "artsy-fartsy" sense when the viewer recognizes that The Godfather lives in hell. Evil is pure darkness, and joy (such as Connie's wedding) is lit by fiery reds and golds---literally a "tangerine hell."

For a more intense example, look at the Sollozzo murder scene: Just before the shootings Michael is dark, while the out-of-focus red neon light on the Louis' Family Restaurant sign burns brightly over his right shoulder. That this is not bad filmmaking can be seen in the fact that less crucial scenes (such as the Don's funeral scene) have no such color distortion. It's subtle, and it is artsy, but mute the color extremes and THE GODFATHER would probably lose much of its visual impact.

On a more normative note, the restoration brings out a hundred little details: A sign announcing Jake LaMotta's defense of his title pops out of nowhere, presaging Raging Bull; the appearance of oranges (always a harbinger of death in THE GODFATHER films) is more obvious; the dissolution evident on the face of the Black Hand extortionist Fanucci is highlighted; the sepia-tint quality of the early Twentieth Century DeNiro scenes in GODFATHER PART TWO is emphasized; and the intricacy of the sets is evident everywhere.

Fortunately, THE COPPOLLA RESTORATION is just that, a restoration, and Francis Ford Coppolla does not do what he has done before, re-edit, add, subtract, and meld these movies together. This is a purely "technical" restoration of the films (or at least The Godfather and The Godfather Part II; the less-worthy Godfather Part III gets no such treatment).

THE GODFATHER becomes more enjoyable as a result of the restoration, though you may not be consciously aware of the changes at first.
