Product information "Coffee Table Book Steve Schapiro. The Godfather Family Album"
Some images whisper – and suddenly you’re part of the scene
It starts with a glance. Don Vito Corleone, half in shadow, his hand raised – and somehow, you’re right there. “The Godfather Family Album” by TASCHEN is far more than a book; it’s a visual archive of one of cinema’s most influential films. Across 512 pages, this beautifully crafted hardcover brings together intimate on-set photography by Steve Schapiro, captured during the filming of “The Godfather”. Some images unfold in deep black tones, others in warm, nostalgic colour – revealing not only iconic scenes but also quiet, unseen moments in between. With its compact format (15.6 x 21.7 cm) and a weight of 1.47 kg, the book feels substantial in hand while offering a rich, immersive experience page by page.
Between camera and reality – cinema you can turn page by page
This coffee table book merges photography with film culture in a unique way. Author Paul Duncan complements the imagery with background insights, stories and context that bring Francis Ford Coppola’s masterpiece to life in a new dimension. You don’t just see the film – you witness how it came to be. That’s what makes this volume so compelling: it presents “The Godfather” as a complete work of art, shaped between staging and reality. A must for film enthusiasts, collectors and lovers of visual storytelling.
