DVD: APOCALYPSE NOW Redux (hier online bestellen)
Starring: Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall etc.
Directed by: Francis Ford Coppola
Duration: 194 mins
The story:
Some 49 minutes longer, with the addition of a number of fabled extra scenes, Francis Coppola's hugely
ambitious Vietnam war epic Apocalypse Now is now presented under the title Apocalypse Now Redux. Martin
Sheen's mission (to terminate Marlon Brando's renegade Colonel Kurtz "with extreme prejudice") remains
the same, but among the extra scenes we witness Sheen stealing Colonel Kilgore's (Robert Duvall) beloved
surfboard, while a few more clicks up river the guys on the boat share some quality time with the Playboy
Bunny Girls. The longest addition is a ghostly French plantation sequence that allows Coppola to thrash
out the colonial background to the conflict. Finally, in Colonel Kurtz's hideout we are treated to an
extra daylight encounter with Brando.
Apocalypse Now Redux has been beautifully restored by the expert hands of Walter Murch, highlighting his
own brilliant use of sound and the rich, hallucinatory cinematography of Vittorio Storaro. At over three
hours, this is a very long but engrossing trip into the heart of darkness. This return visit to Coppola's
green inferno makes for essential viewing.
