Apocalypse Now est un film américain réalisé par Francis Ford Coppola, sorti en 1979. Ce film sur la guerre du Vietnam est une adaptation libre du roman court Au cœur des ténèbres (Heart of Darkness) de Joseph Conrad, paru en 1899.
Francis Ford Coppola's film "Apocalypse Now" was inspired by Heart of Darkness, a novel by Joseph Conrad about a European named Kurtz who penetrated to the farthest reaches of the Congo and established himself like a god.
The mission is to travel upriver to assassinate a colonel, who's gone AWOL and acts like a demi-god to a group of tribal natives in the jungle. Taking the mission for what it is, Willard travels upriver along with a ragtag group of American soldiers, some of which are called by their nicknames.
It may seem strange to begin a review of Francis Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" with those words, but consider them for a moment and they apply perfectly to this sprawling film.
Apocalypse Now went on to win Oscars for its cinematography and sound, and today it is regarded as a supremely powerful war film and an unflinching look into the darkest recesses of the human soul. Featuring highlights from the Margaret Herrick Library and the Academy Film Archive.
