APOCALYPSE NOW (1979)

Certification18 Our Rating

The greatest movie ever made? A soldier is sent into the Heart of Darkness to retrieve a commander gone AWOL in an insane reality of tin-pot power, paranoia and inglorious killing. The horror of war is stripped naked in a surreal twilight world. The crew nearly went mad making it, Martin Sheen suffered a heart attack and Coppola flew so far beyond budget that the word 'bankrupt' was nearly redefined. See "Heart of Darkness"... find out more...

APOCALYPSE NOW REDUX (1979)

Certification18 Our Rating

The definitive 'Apocalypse Now' (as if the original wasn't pretty definitive) this has nearly an hour of extra footage fleshing out the surreal journey of our central protagonists and, though it brings the film to a whisker short of three and a half hours, much of it explains what happens to the eclectic characters we meet. The cut version of 'Apocalypse Now' stands as one of the most awesome films of modern cinema, anyone who has seen it will inevitably see it again, it's just that now you have find out more...

BIG RIVER MAN (2009)

Certification15 Our Rating

Having already swum the full lengths of the Danube, Mississippi and Yangzte, the extraordinary manic obsessive Slovene Martin Strel, makes a 70 day attempt to repeat the effort in the Amazon. If what you expect is a super-athlete that's not what you get, this overweight 50-year-old eats horseburgers, drink drives and wires batteries to his head! What he is though is a hero, a man dedicated to and succeeding in extraordinary non-rational tasks. Fascinating stuff - more Herzogian than Aguirre or find out more...
