Dean Tavoularis Dead: 'Godfather: Part II' Production Designer Was 93

Dean Tavoularis, who shared an art direction Oscar for “The Godfather: Part II” and long worked with Francis Ford Coppola, died Wednesday in Paris.

Variety
Francis Ford Coppola – „Der Pate III“ (1990)

Das war kein Triumphzug und auch keine späte Ehrenrunde einer großen Erzählung. Dieser Film war ein finaler Abschied, der sich geweigert hat, würdevoll zu sein. Ein Film, der genau gewusst hat, dass er zu spät kommt – und genau deshalb existiert. Coppola hat einen Mythos als Ruine seiner eigenen Geschichte zu Ende gebracht. Eine Welt aus totaler moralischer Erschöpfung. Wer diesen Film aber als „schwächsten Teil“ der Saga abtut, verkennt seine Funktion: Es ist der notwendige Epilog einer Geschichte, die nie ein Happy End verdient hat. (ARD, Wh.)

What I Learned From Dean Tavoularis, the Legendary Production Designer of New Hollywood

A THR critic reflects on his friendship with the Oscar-winning designer behind 'The Godfather' trilogy, 'Apocalypse Now' and 'Bonnie and Clyde,' who died April 23 at age 93.

The Hollywood Reporter

Esta semana se estrena Michael, la primera gran biográfica del Rey del Pop. Dirigida por Antoine Fuqua, con Jaafar Jackson — sobrino de Michael — en su debut como protagonista.

La película más cara de la historia sobre el artista más grande de la historia. Tiene sentido.

Porque Michael Jackson no solo hizo música. Hizo cine.

La prueba: los directores que convocó para sus videoclips.

John Landis dirigió Thriller — 14 minutos de horror sobrenatural que inventaron un género. Martin Scorsese dirigió Bad en el metro de Nueva York. Francis Ford Coppola y George Lucas le hicieron Captain EO, una épica de ciencia ficción en 3D. Spike Lee lo llevó a las favelas de Brasil. David Fincher. John Singleton. Los mejores directores del mundo, haciendo videoclips.
Ve a ver la película. Y después vuelve a ver los clips.

Eso es legado. Eso es cine. 📽️🎶🖤
