****½
Director: Fax Bahr, George Hickenlooper
Cast:
A fascinating documentary about the making of Apocalypse Now, which took years to complete, and turned out to be a journey to the heart of darkness itself for its director, Francis Ford Coppola. The footage shot on location by Eleanor Coppola is mixed in with present-day interviews with the cast and crew, illustrating how incredible it is that such a chaotic production process resulted in one of the most celebrated works in film history.
