  Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse

  £125.00

  “The film Francis is making is a metaphor for a journey into self. He has made that journey and is still making it. It’s scary to watch someone you love go into the center of himself and confront his fears, fear of failure, fear of death, fear of going insane. You have to fail a little, die a little, go insane a little, to come out the other side. The process is not over for Francis.”

  The making of a movie has never been documented with more power to discern the true nature of what is happening behind the scenes than in this account of the torment and the passion of Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now. All of the drama and emotion was filmed and documented by Fax Bahr, George Hickenlooper & Coppola’s own wife, Eleanor then released in 1991 as the documentary “Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse”. In July 2025 to coincide with a 4K Ultra HD Special Edition release, Eleanor Coppola’s remastered movie received a limited number of cinema screenings. These were accompanied by an incredible newly commissioned poster by Akiko Stehrenberger which demonstrates a beautiful use of colour and featuring the helicopter imagery, so memorable from Apocalypse Now’s original 1979 marketing campaign and of course so pivotal in the movie itself. Rolled (as issued) it presents to excellent effect and represents one of the best reimagined cinematic posters in recent years and certainly in the running as the best cinematic poster of 2025.

  Trivia: This film has a 100% rating based on 33 critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.
