Apocalypse Now Final Cut
Francis Ford Coppola’s legendary film APOCALYPSE NOW, newly restored and re-cut in its 40th anniversary. A 4k transfer made from the original film negative which is the best-looking of all the versions and is the one that Coppola himself is most proud of.
“The troubled production of Coppola’s psychedelic Vietnam war epic has already calcified into the stuff of industry myth: leading man Martin Sheen was nearly felled by a heart attack, second lead Marlon Brando showed up to set too overweight to believably portray a Green Beret, a monsoon seemingly sent by God destroyed thousands of dollars in equipment… The just-right Final Cut 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 neighborhood of perfection… Coppola has at last gotten everything right where he wants it, which testifies to the real evolution of this project, as an insane risk that gradually vindicated everyone crazy enough to have believed in it.” ~ Charles Bramesco, The Guardian.
