Actor Robert Duvall passed away at the age of 95. His line ‘I love the smell of napalm in the morning’ as Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore in the 1970s film Apocalypse Now became world famous. Duvall was also nominated for an Oscar for this role in the film about the Vietnam War, reason enough to revisit Coppola's masterpiece.

When Captain Willard is ordered to liquidate a deranged colonel, he embarks on a hallucinatory journey that takes him deeper and deeper into the darkness of war and humanity. Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 epic about the madness of the Vietnam War, starring Martin Sheen, Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall and Dennis Hopper, is often described as a war in itself. The production became a legendary and costly film adventure, with tense conditions on set.

The film won two Oscars, for Vittorio Storaro's cinematography and sound design. This digital 4K restoration is Coppola's Final Cut (2019): compiled from a new high-resolution scan and featuring a revised sound mix (including the ultra-low helicopter sounds) and approximately twenty minutes shorter than Redux.
