‘Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse': Francis Ford Coppola's Chaos in 4K
Last summer, New York's Film Forum opened a 4K restoration of Les Blank's 'Burden of Dreams,' a documentary about the torturous creation of Werner Herzog's 'Fitzcarraldo.' This weekend, the theater is opening a 4K restoration of another behind-the-scenes look at an infamous film shoot: that of Francis Ford Coppola's 'Apocalypse Now,' as captured in 1991's 'Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse,' directed by Mr. Coppola's wife, Eleanor, alongside Fax Bahr and George Hickenlooper. (The restoration will travel to select cities in the coming weeks.) The two documentaries share a sense that the films they are about are inextricable from the wild circumstances of their production, the movies and their making fusing into fever dreams of ego and anguish, debt and danger, long days and longer odds that the projects at hand will ever see the light of the silver screen. But whereas to my eyes 'Burden of Dreams' eclipses 'Fitzcarraldo' in artistic interest, 'Hearts of Darkness' is the story of a masterpiece, one arguably flawed and assuredly visionary.
