Apocalypse Now (Redux) gets 8/10 from me for a scintillating combination of incredible photography and vision from FFC; fabulous acting from Sheen that ought to have discouraged both Charlie and Emilio from ever treading the boards; and a masterful star-turn from an almost unrecognisable Brando, dominating wholly despite only showing up at the end.
The feel of this film is what really makes it. Sort of doom-laden ethereal.
Two points dropped as it does go on a bit.
