With 49 additional minutes of never-before-seen footage, director Francis Ford Coppola presents this definitive, all-new director's cut of his groundbreaking motion picture epic. Apocalypse Now Redux is not merely an extended version of a big-screen classic. It is a completely re-thought, re-mixed and re-edited interpretation of a film widely considered one of the greatest movies ever made.

Apocalypse Now Redux review by Justin
The Horror of War
(0) of (0) members found this review helpful.
A case study of the ‘surfing scene’ out of Apocalypse Now (1979), directed by the political liberal and dove Francis Ford Coppola, illustrates the ways in which the Vietnam War can be depicted through stylised ‘message films’. Captain Kilgore (Robert Duvall) of the Air Cavalry attacks a Vietcong held village while playing Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries” on the loud speakers of his helicopter. Once on the ground, Kilgore strips of his shirt and scarf and prepares to go surfing with explosions and gunshots all around. As fighter jets bomb the forest behind the Vietcong village, Kilgore says happily “I love the smell of napalm in the morning….smells like victory.” Applying exaggeration and artistic fantasy, Coppola creates an insane nightmare of brutality and horror – his metaphor for the phenomenon of warfare and individual understanding of the Vietnam War.
