APOCALYPSE NOW
March 21, 2013  | By David Bianculli  | 1 comment

IFC, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
Martin Sheen looks almost impossibly young in this 1979 Francis Ford Coppola epic – but what amazes me the most, watching it now, is that I have to keep reminding myself that none of the explosions, and no shots of the fleet of helicopters, were accomplished with computer trickery. Yes, the opening credits sequence may have been accomplished with a brilliantly realized scale model – but much of what you see is full-scale. And fully amazing.

An amazing film. On my Top 20 list. And "Hearts of Darkness" might be even better...
