Nearly two decades after the events of Part II, Michael Corleone is a respected member of society with close ties to the Vatican, yet is now, in the words of his ex-wife Kay, “more dangerous than you ever were.” Coppola’s thoughtful, autumnal conclusion to the Corleone family saga finds Michael increasingly unable to balance the challenges of his two worlds, and unprepared for the loss he must ultimately face.
