Sorely missing from
Apocalypse Now: The Complete Dossier DVD last year was
Eleanor Coppola's fantastic documentary on the making of the film. I saw
Hearts of Darkness years ago on an old VHS tape and remember being enthralled. For those who don't know,
Apocalypse Now was a notorious shoot plagued with escalating budgets, eccentric actors and an unclear ending. What Eleanor shot is among some of the best behind-the-scenes footage that exists and a perfect supplement to a film about losing oneself in the deep jungle. The DVD will feature commentary by both
Francis Coppola and Eleanor. It will also feature her new film
Coda: Thirty Years Later, her follow-up documentary. The DVD will hit shelves November 20th.

By the way, the DVD is being released by Paramount Home Video. There is a bit of controversy about the rerelease, which I'm blogging about separately.
