Skinopsis

Don't get us wrong, we love the original version, but Redux, also included in this 2–disc set, is definitely the more skinsational as it has that hot naked French chick's boobs and bush and those Playmates giving up their goods for fuel, neither of which was included in the original version.

Review

A masterpiece of modern cinema, Coppola's epic reworking of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness is a mind–blowing, semi–hallucinatory examination of not only the insanity of the Vietnam War, but of war itself. Sheen gives a career performance as a military assassin sent on a mission deep into enemy territory to hunt down a renegade colonel (Brando). Duvall, as an air cavalry commander, gets to utter the classic line, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." Coppola, cast and crew made a real–life, two–year sojourn into the Philippine jungle to make the film. Along the way Sheen suffered a heart attack, sets were destroyed by typhoons, and the script was rewritten daily. (The making of Apocalypse is expertly chronicled in the documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse.)

If ever there was a foray into experimental improvisation on a big–budget film, this is it. The result, which could have easily been disastrous, is instead a remarkably coherent, superbly acted peek into human cruelty and frailty.
