Saltwater Film Society Screening of
Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse
On
Thursday, March 19th, at 6:30 PM, the Thomaston Public Library will host the
Saltwater Film Society screening of the 1991 documentary Hearts
of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, about the "magic and
madness" of making Francis Ford Coppola's celebrated 1979 movie Apocalypse
Now.
This
highly-rated, award-winning documentary depicts the difficulties the Apocalypse
Now filmmakers had with virtually every aspect of its creation: the quality
of the acting, over-spending, the jungle location, the weather, the film's
script, the health of some of those on-site (most notably, actor Martin Sheen's
on-location heart attack), and the director's doubts about the quality of the
film he was making. Famous moments such as Marlon Brando's improvised rambling
monologues are included in the documentary and have helped to make it a cult
classic.
