Apocalypse Now: 10 years ago, Apocalypse Now Redux was released the extended version with all that otherwise could only work on a DVD extra, allows the dinner scene beautifully with the French colonialists static. Now the film has been rereleased in a De‑Redux form, the original theatrical edition, without the credits. There seems hardly anything left to say about Francis Coppola's remarkable epic from 1979, based on Conrad's Heart of Darkness, but it is still an extraordinary experience in the cinema: pre-CGI craziness and spectacle. Every time I watch it, I wonder about a conversation that might have taken place earlier Robert Duvall's Lt Col Kilgore takes Martin Sheen's Willard on his ride-along for the "Wagner helicopter attack" scene. Would you explain that a large number of attack helicopters would take on a psychotic gun-emptive strike disproportionate Vietcong suspect in the center of a farming community Or just the pleasure of announcing that they would kill a group of civilians R'n'R? And the revelation of real fire stations at the end of the scene means that Kilgore is strangely justifies a film to be seen on the big screen.
