White Wall Cinema: HEARTS OF DARKNESS
A FILMAKER’S APOCALYPSE
September 24 @ 7:30 pm – 10:30 pm
With the impending release of The Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola’s self financed 120 million dollar potential masterpiece / disasterpiece Megalopolis, and it’s accompanying discussion / bizarre controversy surrounding it’s production, we take a look back at the king of all madcap Coppola productions with this remarkable film documenting the sheer insanity surrounding the production of Coppola’s undoubted 1979 masterpiece, Apocalypse Now.
Truly one of the great films about filmmaking, the descent into near madness for Coppola is fascinating to watch as he chases his vision and nearly loses all sense of reality in an up river journey into the jungle almost as bizarre and wild as the ones experienced by the characters in the actual film.
Also available is a discounted joint ticket for this screening and our November 29th screening of ‘American Movie’, a profoundly funny and beloved cult documentary about a young filmmaker with no less ambition but far less money (approximately $3000) attempting to shoot a horror film in mid 90s Wisconsin, only to a face a series of hopelessly hilarious setbacks.
