What a great film.

Rating: 10/10 (16 November 1998)

Francis Ford Coppola took on a great task in making this film and we are all very lucky that he decided to do it. Many have said that The Godfather is his masterpiece and that may be true. No film, however, is closer to his heart than Apocalypse Now. This movie is a feast for the eyes, imagination and mind. The casting is great. The cinematography is absolutely gorgeous by Vittorio Storaro. Many have said that Coppola was a mad genius during the making of this film, that he went overboard in every respect. I don't understand what's wrong with that considering that this is a man that believes in his art. The film is a journey into the darkest recesses of the mind and Coppola went into it headfirst. The film is a feast for any film fan.
