  Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse 1991

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  The documentary that showed Coppola’s own journey into the heart of darkness. ‘Don’t get out of the boat!’.

  Unfortunate timing for the release of this film. Whilst the satirical elements are biting they are too on the nose given the current political climate & lack the dexterity of, for example, Chaplin in The Great Dictator. It reminded me of Woody Allen’s Sleeper but if Nixon had got away with Watergate.

  I’d forgotten how funny this is. Companion piece to Babygirl. Would make a great James Spader triple bill with Sex, Lies & Videotape and Crash and maybe add White Palace.

  Impressively filmed, great score, but still about tennis! Or is it? Re-thought this - now 4 stars. Fab final shot!
