Abstract:

"22 years after its original release, Francis Ford Coppola and editor Walter Murch unveiled this expanded version of the hallucinatory Vietnam epic, Apocalypse Now. 49 minutes of extra footage has been added to this American "art spectacle," and the reworking divided critics almost as much as the original version did in 1979. "To understate the case, it stands the test of time. Unlike all but a few films today, there's greatness here" (Jay Carr, Boston Globe). This version was mastered from restored Technicolor dye-transfer prints."
