Review of Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse (1991) by Jason H — 03 Jun 2008

The best documentary about the making of a movie ever made. This is a fascinating postmortem on the making of Francis Coppola's Apocalypse Now. At once harrowing and moving, the film leaves us with a new appreciation for the Vietnam War epic it documents.

And as a portrait of an artist in crisis, Hearts of Darkness is unparalleled.
