A Masterpiece of Film Making

Rating: 10/10 (14 November 2002)

British film critics and writers have chosen Apocalypse Now as the greatest film of the last 25 years. I wholeheartedly agree. This film is a masterpiece and should have won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Who even remembers Kramer vs. Kramer? I highly recommend Apocalypse Now Redux as it fleshes out the characters, revealing new dimensions of the director's vision. Particularly enjoyable is the French plantation scene between Martin Sheen and Aurore Clement who whispers, "There are two of you; one who kills and one who loves." Francis Ford Coppola is a brilliant artist who has always been ahead of his time.
