Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse

CriticsCritics: 98
AudienceAudience: 8.2

This documentary follows the troubled production of a major war film, as bad weather, health problems, military interruptions and rising costs repeatedly disrupt the shoot. Behind-the-scenes footage and interviews reveal the strain and uncertainty surrounding an ambitious creative project.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you’re curious about production setbacks, creative ambition, and the making of Apocalypse Now; Not for you if behind-the-scenes stories feel less engaging than watching a finished film.
