Reviewed by Chris Tookey

Francis Ford Coppola's extravagant drama about Vietnam is visually inspired and evidently sincere about the horrors of war, but almost ruined by its pretentious ending, built around a hopelessly self-indulgent performance by Marlon Brando. Coppola's wife Eleanor made a terrific documentary about the making of this film - Hearts of Darkness.

"My film is not about Vietnam. It is Vietnam."

(Francis Ford Coppola)
