I meant to review Hearts of Darkness a couple months back, but it got lost among all my other postponed reviews somewhere. It's been too long for me to remember it with enough detail to review it fully. It's an excellent documentary, whether you care about the making of Apocalypse Now or not. It's a fascinating insight into Francis Ford Coppola's creative process and the great depths, emotionally and psychically, that he goes to achieve his lofty goals. There's great insider footage of Francis, Martin Sheen, Lawrence Fishburne, Dennis Hopper and Robert Duvall, among others. And some good interviews with Francis' film-making buddies, George Lucas and John Milius. A truly excellent film. - Grade: A
