Hearts of Darkness chronicles the creation of Francis Ford Coppola's Vietnam masterpiece Apocalypse Now. The shoot was such a chaotic, catastrophe-plagued odyssey (the script, actors, weather and budget all threatened to close production down), that it's a wonder the film was ever finished at all. Expertly mixing on-location home movies shot in the Philippines by Coppola's wife Eleanor with revealing interviews with the cast and crew ten years later, this is the most insightful and engrossing "making-of" documentary you will find.
