About 4K Film: Hearts Of Darkness

Discover the newly restored Hearts Of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse, showcasing the extraordinary making of Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now. Considered one of the best documentaries ever made, Coppola's Vietnam War drama was meticulously captured by his wife, Eleanor Coppola, along with Fax Bahr and George Hickenlooper. Filmed on location in the dense jungles of the Philippines, the documentary captures the journey - from page to screen - that spiraled into a hellish nightmare, echoing the film's narrative.
