Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse

Documentary

1991, Movie, 1h 36min

“We were in the jungle, there were too many of us, we had access to too much money, too much equipment, and little by little we went insane.” In 1976, director Francis Ford Coppola arrived in the Philippines to begin shooting what would become his Vietnam War masterpiece APOCALYPSE NOW. It was the beginning of one of the most arduous and notoriously troubled productions in film history—a herculean struggle against the forces of nature, myriad cast problems (in particular a totally unprepared Marlon Brando), and the very sanity of all involved. Codirected by the filmmaker’s wife, Eleanor Coppola, who shot and narrated the the vivid behind-the-scenes footage, HEARTS OF DARKNESS is a riveting look at a man pushing himself to the edge of destruction for the sake of art.

This documentary is almost as good as the film it is about. A very informative documentary about the production of Apocalypse Now. If you never watched Apocalypse Now, be sure to watch it before you watch this documentary.

Engrossing and hilarious by turns, this is the story of a film-maker who deliberately places himself on the edge of a logistical precipice, where the slightest difficulty might spell disaster.
