4k remaster, remastered sound, new colour grading. Probably better than redux and presumably the last version of this film. Nice to see it in a cinema and it did look brilliant. Francis kept that fucking French plantation scene, though
Why even bother making another cut if they kept the plantation scenes? Redux version minus that bs would be perfect.
Joshua Cox
french plantation scene is great but too long. i figured he would have trimmed some out of it.
Jeremiah Murphy
Also saw it last night, incredible and draining experience. The plantation inclusion is literally the only thing that drags it down, god damn is Coppola stubborn about it.
It wouldn't even be so bad if it was just placed earlier in the film, or cut some of the dinner exposition
Gonna pick up the BR release when it comes out for all those tasty extras (I presume the Soderbergh interview will be one of them) and Hearts of Darkness
Noah Long
i preferred the original to the redux. Should I watch the final cut?
Lucas Jenkins
I heard they cut some lines from the French scene is that true? Also did they cut the bunny scene?
It's probably one of the most sleep-inducing movies to watch while drunk
Benjamin Murphy
Yeah, the dinner part is what kills it. I don't mind the short scene with the woman and I don't mind the funeral to slow it down a but, but that dinner grinds everything to a halt. I can't even understand those French accents so I couldn't get any exposition out of it.
They showed the Soderbergh interview after the credits in my cinema. It lasted about an hour. I felt that only twenty minutes of that were useful or not going over the same old stories everyone watching this cut already knows (tough production etc). But whatever. I'd be interested to compare the colour grading, it looked great
Hey, nice to see Milius up and running. I wonder if he has regained his speech after the stroke he had.
Levi Jenkins
The tone of the story is descent into hell/madness. Every such story has that last glimmer of sanity at the edge of the pit.
Plot wise it is also completely necessary for Willard to kill Kurtz. For without that last reminder or what true peace, true civilization, Kurtz recruits Willard same as he recruits everyone else sent after him.

>no Cinematic release in Rome welp.
Daniel Lewis
Is this not showing in the UK? Sad.
Kevin Morgan
I saw it in the Odeon last night. It was one night only, though
