Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse

Real footage in 1 hour and 36 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fascinating documentary about an epic film. A must-see for any fan of Apocalypse Now.

The reason for the failure of this film is that a series of superhero films are produced and destroy the cinema industry.The directors are right in saying that superhero movies are destroying the movie industry. Other movies that Hollywood makes are slowly disappearing and ridiculous superhero movies are taking their place. It must be prevented before it is too late

No option to delete. Just put stars in middle, sorry. 14th Sept 2024ce.

I'm so glad this was included with the 2019 final cut blu ray or I may had missed it. An unbelievable documentary, never seen anything like it.

A riveting documentary that makes a great companion piece for the actual film.

The making of a film has never been presented more beautifully than in Hearts Of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse.

1001 movies to see before you die. If you see Apocalypse Now and are not persuaded of its immensity, then watch this and you will then have it laid out for you. Coppola is so impressive in this and shows it through his reflections on the film being made, he truly is one of the best Directors ever. To take on the Philippines as a location to shoot made this epic. This documentary was well made. It was a STG DVD.

Magnificent photography, superb performances, memorable music, great dialogues, outstanding direction. Should I continue?

Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse follows the creation of Apocalypse Now from pre-production to finished product, documenting the immense difficulties experienced by Francis Ford Coppola in bringing his ambitious vision to fruition. Captured through the lens of Eleanor Coppola, Francis' wife, the film captures the string of disasters that slowed production, ranging from financing to the director's own self-doubt to natural disasters to the heart attack of Martin Sheen. Any fan of Apocalypse Now, which is mandatory viewing if planning to watch the documentary, will appreciate both the documentary footage as well as the interviews conducted with the cast and crew after the fact. On the downside, the film seems to skimp on certain details (Harvey Keitel being fired, Martin Sheen's recovery from a heart attack, etc…), but the movie remains a fascinating look at an American classic from the inside out.
