Apocalypse Now Redux
New Hollywood
•
3h 16m
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola • 2001 • United States
Starring Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, Harrison Ford
A work of overwhelming, visionary power, Francis Ford Coppola’s hallucinatory Vietnam War epic stands as one of the twentieth century’s most monumental works of art. Ordered to “terminate with extreme prejudice” Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), a dangerously insane American military officer who has gone rogue, tormented assassin Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) embarks on a journey upriver from Vietnam to Cambodia that will take him through the depths of human madness and depravity. The result of a notoriously troubled production that pushed all involved to the brink, APOCALYPSE NOW—presented here in its restored and extended REDUX version, which adds forty-nine minutes of footage to the original 1979 release cut—comes as close as cinema ever has to capturing the hellish fever of war.
