“The most important thing I wanted to do in the making of Apocalypse Now,” Francis Ford Coppola said, “was to create a film experience that would give its audience a sense of the horror, the madness, the sensuousness, and the moral dilemma of the Vietnam War.” Forty years after its original release, Apocalypse Now returns to the screen with a newly restored cut (differing even from 2001’s Redux version), remastered in 4K from the original negative for the first time. Boasting a stunningly reworked sound design taken from recently discovered soundtrack masters, it’s an experience to be seen—and heard—in the theater.
