And this year, De Niro has topped himself, bringing together the men and women behind The Godfather for a frank discussion about the film.
That being said, Tribeca does have one thing that other festivals lack: unfettered access to Robert De Niro, the festival’s co-founder and cinematic advocate for all things New York.
It’s much more fun to write a description of a fireside chat than a Hollywood obituary.
It’s nice to see the Tribeca Film Festival honor The Godfather movies, but it’s especially nice to see actors like Robert Duvall, James Caan, Al Pacino, and Diane Keaton get their moments in the spotlight again.
