A fantastic film. And this review could end at that, after studying the film at college and entering great depths for contextual knowledge and so on the quality of this film is in a different league: stylish and action packed the film is perfectly crafted to display the opinion/thoughts of the director upon the central conflict of the creation. Despite its daunting run time the pace is beautiful and the characters so deep that every watch is enjoyable

Don't miss the documentary his wife made as well. Classic.

During the Vietnam War, Captain Willard is sent on a dangerous mission into Cambodia to assassinate a renegade Colonel who has set himself up as a god among a local tribe. Apocalypse Now is for sure a really beautiful film and very well made in general plus Robert Duvall gives one of his best perfomances and the entire cast is pretty good in general but where the film kinda disappointed me at least the Redux version did was with the story that was kinda slow and at times even hard to follow, some of the character's motivations were also a bit muddled like Brandon's for instance plus the scenes with the 2 women and the french weren't even needed. Overall an overrated and decent drama. (7/10)

There is no denying. Apocalypse Now is one of the finest, most disturbing, unsettling yet unreleningly gripping and beautiful films of all time.
