Leave your thoughts about Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse.
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumA fascinating 1991 postmortem on the making of Francis Coppola's Apocalypse Now. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewAt once anecdotal and revealing, this excellent film both illuminates the catastrophes that beset one particular project, and shows, by way of comparison, exactly what American film has foregone since the '70s. |
| Filmcritic.comChris BarsantiFor a portrait of cinematic obsession and unbridled megalomania... one would be hard pressed to find a more satisfying piece of work than Hearts of Darkness |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe making of a film has never been documented with more penetration and truth than in Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThis is an interesting docu but some important issues are missing, such as Coppola's infidelity during the shoot and the question of whether or not the chaos on the set had bearing on the artistic quality of Apocalypse Now, acknowledged as a masterpiece |
| KFOR Channel 4 NewsBlake DavisOne of the best documentaries ever made, more fascinating an exploration of obsession than the film it's about. |
| Washington PostJoe BrownHarrowing and funny, a fine film on its own, Hearts leaves us with a new appreciation for the Vietnam War epic it documents. |
| User ReviewUros TIf you can find it, it's a must watch for any filmmaker or film buff. Wow Francis Ford Coppola carer basically was hung in the balance while making "Apocalypse Now". I really respected him so much more after seeing this. |
| User ReviewKenneth KA fantastic documentary which echos the story of the actual film, a descent into madness. One of the best films about making a movie ever! |
| User ReviewMike TThis is definitely one of the best documentary films I've ever seen, and one of my favorites. This is a brilliant portrait of the lengths a great artist will go to in order to fulfill his vision. Ontop of making me admire Apocalypse Now even more, it also gave me a greater appreciation for Coppola as a storyteller in general. Essential viewing for fans of its subject. |
