The Stranger

Central Cinema continues its month of sequels with the greatest sequel ever made, presented in all its underlit, narrative-splicing, three-hour-long glory. Francis Ford Coppola’s 1974 masterpiece finds Al Pacino ruling the Corleone crime family and giving the performance of his life, with exemplary support from Robert De Niro (who won his first Oscar for his role as young Vito), Michael V. Gazzo (as the gloriously overblown Frankie Pentangeli), and acting master Lee Strasberg. Also: food and booze brought right to your table!
