Apocalypse Now, one of my all-time faves, is getting a re-release. Gonna book it at Odeon Luxe! Would've been happy enough with just the original cut though.
Forty years after its original release, audiences will get the chance to experience Apocalypse Now Final Cut, a never-before-seen and newly restored cut of Coppola’s spectacular cinematic masterpiece in a way which the director believes “looks better than it has ever looked and sounds better than it has ever sounded”. Restored from the original negative for the first time ever, Apocalypse Now Final Cut is Coppola’s most realized version of his multi-awarded classic -a haunting journey into madness that has fascinated generations of movie lovers.
Rush for the first time. Great stuff, some thrilling shots and a story that perfectly captures a different era. Well, I imagine it does, I wasn't there. Good film though.
The RE films have a certain stupid charm. They are like those Kate Bekinsdale vampire films. Mindless action with stupid plots. Watchable especially if you have a bit of booze.
