Our take

Appearing in various iterations over the years, this “Final Cut” of Francis Ford Coppola’s Palme d’Or winner is the definitive version of his visionary masterwork. With an unforgettable appearance by Marlon Brando, Apocalypse Now traces a visceral descent into madness to comment on the folly of war.
