Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse

In the end credits for musical listings under the Doors song The End, Elektra (Records) is misspelled (as "Electra.

Movie-do about Apocalypse now. Filmed by Coppola's wife really dives into a director's mind and all the issues that can arise during filming.

No story, no structure, no point. Just a lot of footage, split into 3 min bits, that get scrambled.

This is probably the best documentary you'll ever see about the process of filmmaking."Hearts of Darkness" documents the disastrous and painful filming of Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now.

A doc that lives up the original movie. There are so many good histories, features, hide details, showing the state of mind at that moment.

"Apocalypse Now" never appealed to me. There are probably five or more Vietnam War movies that I like better.

Apocalypse Now, from director Francis Ford Coppola (The Godfather, The Conversation, Bram Stoker's Dracula), is considered one of the greatest war films of all time, it features in the book 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die, as does this documentary about the making of the film, which was rated well by critics. Told mostly from the point of view of Coppola's wife Eleanor, with interviews from Coppola himself (including without his knowledge) and the cast and crew, this film chronicles the ups and downs, high and lows and generally the sensational events during the making of Apocalypse Now, based loosely on the book Heart of Darkness.

A documentary that only shows one thing: Coppola being an immature and pretentious child that acts like he did not know what he was in for.The tapes of the discussions between Coppola and his wife just contributes to this child play.

In 1976 Philippines, Francis Ford Coppola would risk everything to make 'Apocalypse Now'. It's an adaptation of Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness' to the world of the Vietnam War.

...and that's why "Hearts" is so compelling to watch.
