Apocalypse Now: The Final Cut
Sat 08 NovFrancis Ford Coppola’s legendary film used Joseph Conrad’s 1899 novella Heart of Darkness as the basis for an epic, hallucinatory fantasia on the Vietnam War. Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) is tasked with journeying upriver to assassinate Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), who has reportedly gone mad. The Final Cut is Coppola’s definitive version of Apocalypse Now, restoring scenes featuring Christian Marquand and Aurore Clément.
