Hearts of Darkness

A film is like an invasion. Vietnam War's most memorable film, Apocalypse Now, like the war itself, nearly did in its creators. Francis Ford Coppola's wife filmed the director as his project sank deeper and deeper into sheer, irretrievable chaos. This is a strange case where the movie about the movie is just as good as the movie.
