FRAME THE SHOT

Description

Witness the magic and madness behind the making of Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979 visionary Vietnam War epic, Apocalypse Now, starring Martin Sheen and Marlon Brando. Now available on 4K with a special-edition art book, Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse chronicles the chaos and turbulence — from disastrous inclement weather to actors’ health crises to local political upheaval — that plagued the marathon production. Filmed by Coppola’s wife, filmmaker-screenwriter Eleanor Coppola, using her own crew, this extraordinary documentary features unprecedented behind-the-scenes footage, interviews with cast and crew, and secretly taped conversations with the tormented Coppola as he grappled with every imaginable (and unimaginable) obstacle. As Eleanor’s keen artistic eye gives unflinching and raw insight into the making of an iconic film, her documentary becomes its own masterpiece.
