Abstract

The Godfather trilogy is among the most significant works of Hollywood cinema of the last quarter century. They provide a richly complex look at a whole segment of American life and culture spanning almost the whole century. In six essays, written especially for this volume, The Godfather trilogy is re-examined from a variety of perspectives. Providing analyses on the form and significance of Coppola's achievement, they demonstrate how the filmmaker revised the conventions of the American crime film in the Viet Nam era, his treatment of the capitalism of the criminal underworld and its inherent violence, the power struggles within Hollywood over the film, and the contribution of opera to the epic force and cinematic style of Coppola's vision of an American criminal dynasty. The Godfather articulates the themes, styles, mythologies, performances, and underlying cultural values that have made the film a modern classic.

Abstract

Le Parrain (1972) de Francis Ford Coppola a marqué une transition dans la production du cinéma américain. Son succès a changé Hollywood à jamais, en tant qu'œuvre, en tant que "propriété" créative exploitée par les studios de la Paramount, et comme source d'inspiration pour des générations de cinéastes. L'étude du Parrain de Jon Lewis commence par une analyse du style visuel audacieux porté par le film (les longues et théâtrales séquences en studio, l'éclairage en clair-obscur, le montage dont le point culminant dévoile un parallèle entre un baptême familial et une série de meurtres brutaux). Lewis étudie les drames qui se jouent à l'écran tout autant que ceux se trament en coulisses. Il dévoile une série d'histoires vraies de gangsters et met le doigt sur la possibilité que des millions de dollars de la mafia aient bien pu financer le film et sur comment, au final, le long-métrage a sauvé la Paramount et l'industrie hollywoodienne tout entière?

Abstract

Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather (1972) marked a transition in American filmmaking, and its success as a work of art, as a creative property exploited by its studio, Paramount Pictures, as a model for aspiring filmmakers - changed Hollywood forever. Jon Lewis's study of the film looks at the significance of The Godfather in Hollywood's dramatic box-office turnaround in the 1970s and offers a critical and historical discussion of The Godfather's place within the crime and gangster film genre. Lewis focuses on the film as a commercial as well as an artistic landmark of American auteur cinema, as a singularly important film in Hollywood studio history and as a brilliant reworked modern genre picture that at once adopts and adapts the gangster film.
