Apocalypse Now
15
Why watch?
“After screening the new 4k restoration of Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse (1991) earlier this July, we couldn't pass up the opportunity for audiences to also revisit Coppola's epic exploration of conflict. Apocalypse now is one of a number of films which loom large over film history and whilst it increasingly feels like a large part of what the Picture House should be doing is trying to reimagine the 'canon', it's nice to sometimes remember that the process can be more about expansion and re-interpretation rather than the eradication of films like Apocalypse Now which for so many have been, and may continue to be, critical access points into the world of cinema.”

Nine Queens
Vietnam, 1970. Captain Willard takes a journey upriver to assassinate Colonel Kurtz, a once-promising officer who has gone completely mad. In the company of a Navy patrol boat filled with street-smart kids, an Air Cavalry officer, and a freelance photographer, Willard ventures into enemy territory.
Francis Ford Coppola’s hallucinatory vision of Hell on Earth lures us into its insanity through groundbreaking sound design and an audacious level of ambition. War has never been presented quite so grotesquely, or spectacularly, in cinema.
