    An intimate look at the making of Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 classic Apocalypse Now, Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse combines the usual documentary interviews with outtakes from the film and rare documentary footage, some shot on the set by Eleanor Coppola. Not long after the arrival of Francis Ford Coppola and crew in the Philippines, the shooting schedule begins spiraling out of control; the film's cost has soon far surpassed the original budget, with the ending still unwritten. As the problems mount, from lead Martin Sheen's heart attack to the disappearance of several helicopters needed for a scene (because they went to fight in a nearby war), the making of the film begins to frighteningly resemble its subject – an unending tale of madness and obsession in the jungle. The film provides a remarkably immediate look at the filmmaking process and the personalities involved, especially Coppola, who publicly acts the autocrat but privately proclaims his belief that he is making an awful film, and Marlon Brando, whose rambling, mumbled improvisations are among the documentary's highlights. Even more impressively, the documentary explores how, despite the chaotic environment, the filmmakers somehow managed to produce an acclaimed, lasting work of art.

    Hearts of Darkness (1991) [ReUp]

    How lucky can a master filmmaker get when the tide is against you smacking you & your new movie deliberately in the face? Legendary director Francis Ford Coppola certainly knows. This documentary, probably one of the most fascinating & insightful examinations into the craft of filmmaking and the creation of art, chronicles Coppola's three year odyssey filming the surreal Vietnam War epic "Apocalypse Now". Directed & narrated by his wife Eleanor, who accompanied her husband throughout the entire shooting of the film, this is THE most splendid "making-of" documentary I've ever seen. The finished version of "Apocalypse Now" that we've come to know is a strange, mystical journey - which probably evolved out of Coppola's own bizarre experiences while making the film.

    Most of these strange occurrences on the set of "Apocalypse Now" served to hinder the completion of the film. The fact that such a brilliant film was even salvaged from the wreckage that was Coppola's life at the time is a miracle, but the film also serves as a testament to the genius of Coppola that was already established with the massive success of the first two "Godfather" films. Plagued by constant typhoons, a mercurial Marlon Brando, an unreliable Phillipine army, a cast of actors whacked out on drugs & alcohol (especially the maniacal Dennis Hopper), endless financial woes, and Coppola's own self-doubt & inner demons ("I don't have the movie yet!"), there is no surprise in the eventual photo shown of an exhausted Coppola standing on the set of his film in a damp raincoat, pointing a revolver at his own head. This may be an experience other directors have experienced (many David Lean films were logistical nightmares), but how many directors can testify to enduring these types of repeated misadventures for three years, and still manage to find the light at the end of the tunnel?

    The entire cast is interviewed (years afterward) about the making of the film - except, of course, for Marlon Brando (Larry Fishburne doesn't get much screen time in the documentary, but his character was relatively small anyway). Martin Sheen, Dennis Hopper, and Frederic Forrest provide the most insight. Sheen & Hopper seem particularly direct at disclosing the grim nature of their excessive drinking at the time. Actors Robert Duvall, Sam Bottoms, Albert Hall, co-screenwriter John Milius, and the Coppolas themselves also reflect back on the construction of the film. The film is loaded with deleted scenes, extended takes, and much behind-the-scenes footage (Coppola angrily berates a stoned Dennis Hopper for forgetting his lines). Eleanor Coppola must really love her husband, because it takes a strong person to document - on film, nonetheless - three years worth of strife & turmoil as you watch your spouse in their craft, fearful they are creating the genesis of their own demise as an artist. A powerful, absorbing documentary on the creation of one of the greatest films ever made.

    Hearts of Darkness (1991) [ReUp]

    Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, an utterly absorbing documentary about the torturous three-year production of Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now (1979), begins the only place it could: at Coppola's press conference following the unveiling of the film (in an unfinished state) at the Cannes Film Festival. Looking weary but strangely resolute, Coppola makes his most infamous statement about the film: “My film is not about Vietnam. My film is Vietnam.” At first, this smacks of absolute pretension, but as the documentary unfolds, we begin to realize that its purpose is to illustrate directly Coppola's merging of his film and an unwinnable war: “The way we made it was very much like the way the Americans were in Vietnam,” he said at Cannes. “We were in the jungle. There were too many of us. We had access to too much money, too much equipment, and little by little we went insane.”

    Thanks to constant media reports, the production of Apocalypse Now was already legendary long before anyone saw a foot of film, and it has only grown in stature in the ensuing years. Principal photography was originally slated for 16 weeks, but dragged on for nearly a year. It was beset with calamities ranging from a monsoon that destroyed sets and forced a two-month halt, to Philippine president/dictator Ferdinand Marcos suddenly recalling the helicopters he had promised to Coppola in order to fight communist insurgents, to star Marlon Brandon showing up for his three-week portion of the shoot (at the bargain price of $1 million a week) overweight and completely unprepared. Coppola was rewriting the script during the shooting, and most of the cast and crew were bewildered at what they had wandered into. It was literally a war movie as war.

    Hearts of Darkness (1991) [ReUp]

    The majority of Hearts of Darkness is made up of 16mm footage shot by Coppola's wife, Eleanor, during the film's 328 days of shooting in the Philippines. Eleanor narrates the film, and much of her narration comes directly from her on-set diaries, which were published in 1979 as a book titled Notes. The 16mm footage, which was originally commissioned by United Artists, the film's distributor, for a five-minute making-of promotional film, is interspersed with interviews conducted circa 1990 with Coppola, original screenwriter John Milius, George Lucas (who was originally slated to direct the film as a low-budget quickie in the early 1970s and whose slightly chastising practicality stands in stark contrast to Coppola's grandiosity), coproducer Tom Sternberg, and actors Martin Sheen, Laurence Fishburne, Sam Bottoms, Albert Hall, and Dennis Hopper. With the distance of more than a decade since the production, each participant is measured and reflective, although you can still sense how the insanity of the production lingers in their minds, especially for Sheen, who suffered a heart attack at age 36 in the middle of shooting and very nearly died (Eleanor Coppola, who narrates the film, informs us that he was read his last rites by a priest who didn't speak English).

    Hearts of Darkness (1991) [ReUp]

    Coppola's 1990 interview is contrasted by numerous on-set interviews during the production of Apocalypse Now in which all posturing is stripped away. He speaks directly to the camera about his desires and intentions for the film, but most of all about his fears. Coppola was, after all, at the crest of what many consider the most impressive run of filmmaking in modern Hollywood history with The Godfather (1972), The Godfather Part II (1974), and The Conversation (1974). All eyes were on him, and he knew it; Apocalypse Now was to be the first film for his revived production company, and he had put up all his assets as collateral to get the film made. He was, then, completed invested–emotionally, artistically, and financially–in the film, and the footage of him in the Philippines is a naked display of an artist in crisis, fighting desperately to hang onto to a vision that he senses is slipping away.

    Hearts of Darkness (1991) [ReUp]

    This is even more nakedly displayed in a series of audio conversation that Eleanor secretly taped, in which Coppola rages against his own perceived failures, railing about his belief that he's making a “bad movie” and at one point even declaring that he should simply shoot himself. It offers a rare, unobscured window into a significant film artist's soul–the true “apocalypse” of the title–and thus it is not surprising that, at Coppola's insistence, the film has been out of circulation for years. While it certainly shows the Coppola at his worst–desperate, confused, angry, paranoid–it is also a portrait of immense bravery and utter resilience. Many filmmakers would have been destroyed by such an ordeal, and while Coppola had many more travails ahead of him (including his disastrous next film, the 1982 musical flop One From the Heart), the fact that he has continued to make films is testament to his spirit.
