A tremendous look at the struggles that everyone went through (including Eleanor Coppola) to finally create Apocalypse Now. Perhaps the overwhelming impression that this film made on me was that I would never, ever want to have to work with Marlon Brando. In a cast and crew of hundreds of people working, suffering, and creating together, he stands out as someone who didn't care about the process, merely concerned with getting paid. Ugh. Of course, this does not detract from the quality of the documentary, which gives amazing insight into the filmmaking process, both as a broad concept and as relating to Apocalypse Now. Another idea explored is "what is an artist?" This is a film that no film aficionado should miss.
