I love the smell of a collector's edition in the morning. Everyone's favorite Joseph Conrad adaptation gets the fancy packaging and extras treatment with this release of Apocalypse Now - The Complete Dossier. Both the original theatrical cut and the 2001 Redux version are included, with enough extras to keep one occupied on a long boat trip. Calling this the "complete" dossier is sure to raise hackles among fans who insist that Eleanor Coppola's lauded documentary, Hearts of Darkness, which chronicled husband Francis's harrowing experience making the film, should have been included. (As of this review, Hearts of Darkness has yet to be released on DVD, so battered VHS copies will have to suffice.) Packaged in a cardboard "dossier" sleeve, the two-disc set includes Marlon Brando reading T.S. Eliot's poem "The Hollow Men," new production featurettes, and cast member interviews. Owners of previous editions of either of the cuts might consider how much they want all the officially sanctioned information on this edition. For newcomers to the Vietnam epic, this is an edition worth going crazy for. --Ryan Boudinot

Apocalypse Now
In the tradition of such obsessively driven directors as Erich von Stroheim and Werner Herzog, Francis Ford Coppola approached the production of Apocalypse Now as if it were his own epic mission into the heart of darkness. On location in the storm-ravaged Philippines, he quite literally went mad as the project threatened to devour him in a vortex of creative despair, but from this insanity came one of the greatest films ever made. It began as a John Milius screenplay, transposing Joseph Conrad's classic story "Heart of Darkness" into the horrors of the Vietnam War, following a battle-weary Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) on a secret upriver mission to find and execute the renegade Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), who has reverted to a state of murderous and mystical insanity. The journey is fraught with danger involving wartime action on epic and intimate scales. One measure of the film's awesome visceral impact is the number of sequences, images, and lines of dialogue that have literally burned themselves into our cinematic consciousness, from the Wagnerian strike of helicopter gunships on a Vietnamese village to the brutal murder of stowaways on a peasant sampan and the unflinching fearlessness of the surfing warrior Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore (Robert Duvall), who speaks lovingly of "the smell of napalm in the morning." Like Herzog's Aguirre: The Wrath of God, this film is the product of genius cast into a pit of hell and emerging, phoenix-like, in triumph. Coppola's obsession (effectively detailed in the riveting documentary Hearts of Darkness, directed by Coppola's wife, Eleanor) informs every scene and every frame, and the result is a film for the ages. --Jeff Shannon

Apocalypse Now Redux
Digitally remastered with 49 minutes of previously unseen footage, Apocalypse Now Redux is the reference standard of Francis Coppola's 1979 epic. A metaphorical hallucination of the Vietnam War, the film was reconstructed by Coppola and editor Walter Murch to enrich themes and clarify the ending. On that basis Redux is a qualified success, more coherent than the original while inviting the same accusations of directorial excess. The restored "French plantation" sequence adds ghostly resonance to the war's absurdity, and Willard's theft of Colonel Kurtz's beloved surfboard adds welcomed humor to the film's nightmarish upriver journey. An encounter with Playboy Playmates seems superfluous compared to the enhanced interplay between Willard and his ill-fated boat crew, but compensation arrives in the hellish Kurtz compound, where Willard's mission--and the performances of Martin Sheen and Marlon Brando--reach even greater heights of insanity, thus validating Redux as the rightful heir to Coppola's triumphantly rampant ambition. --Jeff Shannon

5 out of 5 stars Apocalypse Now - The Complete Dossier (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition)   September 1, 2010
K. Polka
This movie is a great classic at least that's what I was told by my "teenage" son. I enjoyed having the Collector's Edition with alternate endings, and scenes that were not in the original movie, which are only available with this special edition. This was a gift for my teenage son who was facinated by this movie when he saw it on TV. I had a difficult time locating it in any stores, I can't imagine why??? I finally was told that this movie was "retired", imagine my surprise! I got this movie pack for a very reasonable price from a seller who shipped this item very fast and in great condition. My son would recommend the movie and I would recommend the seller of this item. Both were great in their own way!

5 out of 5 stars Blu-ray corrects widescreen mistake   August 21, 2010
Byron (Fort Lauderdale, FL)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

In addition to collecting everything from the previous theatrical & redux editions as well as including the "Hearts of Darkness" documentary and many other extras, this blu-ray edition corrects the poor decision to tamper with the aspect ratio on the previous DVD releases. Vittorio Storaro, the acclaimed cinematographer of this and many other films, has, in recent years, gone on a crusade to advocate 2.00:1 as the most desirable widescreen ratio. Because he was the original cinematographer he was, unfortunately, allowed to carve the previous DVD release transfer down from its original 2.35.1 ratio to 2.00. This meant cropping off portions of the original image. Criterion also allowed him to do it with the recent reissue of "The Last Emperor" to similarly poor effect. I'm glad that the producers of this edition heeded the concerns of film fans and restored the movie to its original format. It's on my Christmas list!


3 out of 5 stars Horror and Insane.   August 19, 2010
Suk H. Tsang (Los Angeles, CA USA)
An entertaining war movie to watch, completes with some insanity of the Vietnam war, of the fictitious voyage of Captain Willard's mission to kill the then insane Colonel Kurtz.
If you are willing to stop at the action, then all is insane. But the movie trys to tell something, or at least it cumulates into Colonel Kurtz's revelation of the cause of his insanity: horror.
So horror turns one to insane, if you do not handle it well. The particular incident that did Kurtz in was when the Special Force jumped into some jungle village and administered some polio vacine. Before the troop left they, with Kurtz, witnessed the villagers hacked off the children's small arms into a pile. The sight, kurtz told, was like a bullet into his head, and he was torn and cried.
It certainly was moving, but the story line itself become insane and a horror. Polio inoculation was a job of the WHO, or some doctor and nurse charities, well planed ahead. Special Forces do not carry syringes and vials, nor issue yellow cards, drop in and give shots. It is fair to say, if you are inoculated under a gun by some camouflaged macho, you will also consider hacking that arm off too.
It is still good entertainment with bonus horror and insanity.
