Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse (4K Restoration)

To celebrate the release of this 4K restoration, we’re also showing Apocalypse Now: The Final Cut – the film that Hearts of Darkness documents the making of. See them both for the special price of £16 when booked at the same time.

A 4K Restoration of the documentary that chronicles how Apocalypse Now (1979) was plagued by extraordinary script, shooting, budget, and casting problems - nearly destroying the life and career of the celebrated director.

Francis Ford Coppola began to film Apocalypse Now in February 1976. After 238 days in the jungle, filming was complete and millions of dollars had been spent (Marlon Brando was on set for three weeks at a million dollars a week). Actors had been replaced (Harvey Keitel by Martin Sheen). They had all gone a bit insane (according to Coppola) and the whole thing was documented on film by his wife, Eleanor.
