The Freshman 

USA 1990 | Andrew Bergman | vostFR | 102’ | 35mm | Cast : Marlon Brando, Matthew Broderick, Penelope Ann Miller

After being robbed, a young New York film student gets entangled in an illicit business run by a Mafia boss who looks suspiciously like a character from The Godfather.

« Brando delivers six-minute sonatinas of send-up and sincerity. He keeps things light but also from tilting over into something ephemerally broad like, say, Mickey Blue Eyes, a perfectly enjoyable comedy but a piffle next to this perfection. » (Midwest Film Journal)

« Marlon Brando returns to the movies with one of his funniest performances as, in essence, Don Corleone with a screw loose. » (Chicago Tribune)
