Apocalypse Now: Final Cut

Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now celebrates its 40th anniversary with this restored version, remastered from the original negative and delivering an astonishingly visceral experience that is a must for all film lovers. Tormented Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) is sent on a dangerous mission to assassinate Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), who is presumed to have succumbed to the horrors of war and gone rogue in a remote Cambodian outpost. As The Guardian says, it ‘splits the difference between the creative concessions of the original and the unwieldy sprawl of the Redux, a massive feat of film craft reined in to the general neighbourhood of perfection.’ [15]
