The role of Vito Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1972 movie won Brando multiple Academy and Golden Globe Awards.

The event at the Polish capital's Iluzjon cinema is a tribute to Brando, an icon of cinema history who was born 100 years ago, on April 3, 1924.

The review highlights some of Brando’s memorable roles in movies such as A Streetcar Named DesireThe Wild One, On the Waterfront, Mutiny on the Bounty, The Chase, Reflections in a Golden Eye, and The Last Tango in Paris.

Brando died in 2004 at the age of 80.

A New York Times critic wrote about him: “Simply put, in film acting, there is before Brando, and there is after Brando. And they are like different worlds.”
