Review: Let me put in a hearty recommendation for the
reworked Apocalypse
Now Redux, Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979
masterpiece (Wagner and all) re-released by Miramax with about 50 minutes of
new footage (about 20 minutes of the old footage trimmed down and removed)
for about a 185 minute film. But it keeps you on the edge of your seat. The
story, based on Joseph Conrad’s Heart
of Darkness,
turns into a horror thriller as the patrol boat , with the Army
intelligence agent played by Martin Sheen, move off the edge of the world ( The music score is famous, with effective use of Wagner in the famous helicopter attack scene. I had an impromptu chat with a precocious high school senior
about the There is a lot more to say about |
