Hearts of Darkness: A Flimmaker's Apocalypse

Hearts of Darkness: A Flimmaker’s Apocalypse
DVD ($24.99)

Originally released in 1991 and now on DVD for the first time, this award-winning documentary about the making of director Francis Ford Coppola’s problem-plagued Vietnam saga, 1979’s Apocalypse Now, is a wild story on its own. Between the hurricane that completely destroyed the movie’s Philippines set, the heart attack that sidelined star Martin Sheen and the bedlam that beset the cast and crew as the bloated, out-of-control production stretched on for most of a year, it’s a miracle a movie—much less a modern masterpiece—ever emerged on the other side of the mayhem. (Rated R)
—Neil Pond, American Profile
