Apocalypse Now Heart of Coppola

Check out this video about Apocalypse Now (1979). In the short four-plus minute Heart of Coppola film, Brian Carroll uses scenes from the classic movie and the 1991 documentary Hearts of Darkness mixed with interviews of Coppola for a must-see video for fans of Apocalypse Now. The film also features Orson Welles reading from Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, the book that was the basis for the film.

[2024 UPDATE: Unfortunately, the video is not presently available.]

Slate and the Open Culture websites have some additional information about the film.
