Dir. Francis Ford Coppola, USA, 1979, 153 mins, (15)

Francis Ford Coppola’s epic achievement is a war movie like no other. Set in Vietnam and based loosely on Joseph Conrad’s novel Heart of Darkness, the plot revolves around the hunt for the renegade Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), who has entrenched himself deep in the jungle. The film is also a hallucinogenic and troubling psychological journey into minds
unravelling at the horror of modern conflict in a foreign land.
