Apocalypse Now: Redux

Opening scene, Vietnam, a scene of palm trees in the background, helicopters whirring overhead, flew passed slowly from left and right. Dolby Atmos sound brought it alive from my soundbar and visually stunning from my 4K TV in the living room. Then napalm explosions amidst palm trees, a classic song with guitar plucking in the background, a voice flowing out 'This is The End'.....in a lyrical tune, expressive, surreal depiction of the Vietnam War. The song 'The End' sung by Jim Morrison of the American Rock Band 'The Doors', 1967. It was an instant classic opening scene of Apocalypse Now by Francis Ford Coppola. Theatrical Cut and Redux were released before the FINAL CUT but after 'REDUX', Francis Coppola finally edited for the final cut in 2019 which he preferred. It was slightly shorter than REDUX but longer than the first theatrical release. This final cut is restored in 4K UHD with Dolby Atmos Sound, incorporating key scenes from Redux, improving and balancing its pacing from the original release. This disc delivers nice improved hues and Dolby Atmos sound that is immersive, with clear dialogue, overall an impressive final version. Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall, Dennis Hopper, G.D. Spradlin, Harrison Ford, Laurence Fishburne, to name a few actors, gave inspiring performances to depict the madness of the Vietnam War in this movie. A mad Colonel Walter Kurst (Marlon Brando) of the 5th Special Forces Group, US Army Special Forces, commanding his own war, without permission and defying orders from his Commanders has gone rogue on the other side of Vietnam, somewhere in the jungles of Cambodia against the Khmer Rouge with many followers made up of Militia who worshipped him like 'GOD'. A dangerous journey and crazy task for a US Army Captain Benjamin L. Willard (Martin Sheen) was assigned to eliminate Colonel Kurst, penetrated right deep into the jungle of Cambodia to gain entry into the Colonel's territory, with a group of young and seasoned crewmen in a US Navy PBR, a river patrol boat, transporting them on a river with unknown threat from the jungle and enemies to watch out for. Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilcore (Robert Duvall), a charismatic officer and also an avid surfer, who led the 1st Squadron, 9th Cavalry Regiment, an elite 1st Cavalry Division of air assault helicopter unit. Lieutenant Colonel Kilcore and his squadron of helicopters were to raid a VC village near the coastal mouth of Nùng. Before reaching the village, Classic Richard Wagner's 'Ride of the Valkyries' was belted out in loud speakers attached to the helicopters to mark the beginning of the raid, a favorite of Lieutenant Colonel Kilcore in his stylish mission. After the raid and napalm fiery strike in the land of palms to decimate the remaining VCs, Lieutenant Colonel Kilcore, in his famous quote of the day 'I love the smell of napalm in the morning'; an instant memorable line, for him it meant VICTORY and soon the war will end someday! An American Photojournalist (Dennis Hopper), a manic disciple of Colonel Kurst capturing the events, brutal images in Colonel Kurst's outpost. He found the Colonel's fascinating terrifying wage of war against his enemies. Lieutenant Colonel R. Gorman (G.D. Spradlin), a Military Intelligence officer, who feared the mad Colonel Kurst, had ordered Captain Willard in his briefing to terminate and assassinate the mad Colonel Kurst. Aided by an Army Intelligence Specialist, Colonel G. Lucas (Harrison Ford), providing information to Captain Willard for his mission. A cocky 17-year-old, 3rd Class Tyrone 'Mr. Clean' Miller (Laurence Fishburne), one of the crewmen of the PBR, navigates up the river with Captain Willard and the rest of the crew members to locate Colonel Kurst's outpost. Francis Ford Coppola makes a surprise cameo appearance as a TV news director filming beach combat; he voiced out 'Don't look at the camera, go by like you're fighting!' as Captain Willard passes in front of his cameraman. Apocalypse Now is directed by Francis Ford Coppola, who also co-written with John Milius and as a producer for this movie. It was nominated for Eight Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor (Robert Duvall). Eventually it won Two Academy Awards for Best Cinematography (Vittorio Storaro), who also appeared as a cameo playing the cameraman besides Francis Coppola's TV news director at the beach combat and Best Sound. The dark side of the story, the journey of fear and unknown and the mission to accomplish, this movie was paced and balanced with the narrative flows to keep the audience fully engaged and immersed. Apocalypse Now Final Cut, a masterpiece, Francis Ford Coppola finally cut it RIGHT where he wants it!

Apocalypse Now could be labeled the "most difficult production ever". Shooting lasted 238 days, a typhoon struck the sets and Martin Sheen suffered a heart attack. And that wasn't the end of it. Coppola struggled with the ending, the overbudget, Brando's overweight, the bad press surrounding the film and much much more. I have to say that I deeply admire Coppola for making this film and fight all the demons. He ended making a masterpiece and one of the best war films ever made. This was his last truly great film that will make him be remembered forever. Never again he had achieved the level of success that he had on the 70s with his four films (The Godfather, The Conversation, The Godfather part II and Apocalypse Now) but that's fine because this four films are among the finest of cinema history. As you may know, Apocalypse Now is set in Vietnam during the Vietnam War where a captain named Willard is sent in a mission to "terminate with extreme prejudice" the reign of Colonel Kurtz who has gone insane and is living up in Cambodia giving outregous orders. The movie it's not so much the destination as is the journey. During his travel, Willard meets a lot of characters including the ones that are with him in the boat, a Colonel Kilgore who assists him to crose to the other side of the river and more. I have to say that this film is outstanding in every regard. The locations are superb, the acting is amazing and the story is truly one of a kind. Dialogue is profound, funny, thoughtful and simply really good. Some scenes like the "Ryde of the Valkyries", "the meeting with Kurtz" and others are cinema classics that will be long remembered. Apocalypse Now is an exciting, often frightening ride that is require viewing for everyone. A classic materpiece through and through. Apocalypse Now was released by Lionsgate with new transfers supervised by Coppola himself and the release is a spectacular one. Video & Audio: Apocalypse Now comes to Blu Ray for the first time in its original aspect ratio looking absolutely amazing. The definition, the clarity, the detail, the crispness are awesome. Skin tones are really well defined and not at all artificial. There are some scenes with ocassional flickering but it's not at all distracting. There are no signs of compression artifacts and most importantly, film grain hasn't been removed or tampered giving the film a nice real life appearance. An excellent transfer that rivals the ones produced for the Godfather films (and those are also excellent). Apocalypse Now is credited for creating the 5.1 surround sound and for this release Lionsgate offers a 5.1 DTS-HD MA that's abolutely mesmerizing. The sound is really well distributed and all sound effects are really crisp. Dialogue is also crystal clear and without any hint of damage or hiss. An outstanding audio presentation. Bonus Features: Lionsgate released AN in two presentations: a two-disc special edition and a three disc "full disclosure edition" that it's the subject of review here Disc One: On disc one you have two versions of the film: Apocalypse Now (1979 original) and Apocalypse Now Redux (2001). Before I bought this set, I've only watched the Redux version which I liked but watching the original it seems to me that the 1979 version is the superior one. Some scenes in the Redux are too long (like the french plantation) but it's not a terrible version like many have point out. Regardless which version you prefer, the good thing is that you can choose (a thing George Lucas does not allow to us). Also both versions have an audio commentary by Coppola. Disc Two: Here is where all the good stuff is included. New to this release is an interview with John Milius and Coppola and a conversation between Martin Sheen and Coppola. Both are required viewing because of the stories and the different perspectives they had about the film. Also you have an interview with Fred Roos who explains the casting process of the film and we are treated to some screen tests of the actor. Then you have the original reading of Hearts of Darkness by Orson Welles in 1938, an interview by Roger Ebert to Coppola in the 2001 Cannes Festival (which is also required viewing), Deleted scenes, a featurette that explains the birth of 5.1 sound, the music of Apocalypse, the color palette, the editing and much much more. Disc three: This disc is exclusive to this release which includes the documentary Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse (in HD). Filmed by Eleanor Coppola during the production of the film, this documentary is one of the finest ever produced. You can watch the film and this documentary and you will not only know how the film was made but know first-hand all the troubles that Coppola faced and his slow descent into madness and obsession to finish the movie. This documentary should be seen by every film student and fans of the film everywhere. Also included in this disc are marketing material, storyboard galleries, photo archives and more. This package also includes a nice collector's booklet with annotations by Coppola. Closing thoughts: Apocalypse Now is a classic film that is a must-own and deserves a top spot in any film library. Lionsgate and Coppola have done a 5 star release that no one should miss. With an outstanding restoration, 2 versions of the film and hours upon hours of bonus material including the excellent documentary Hearts of Darness, this set is one of the best Blu-Ray releases ever and is highly recommended for everyone.

The original cut always felt incomplete. It was a bunch of great vignettes which were just thrown together. The new footage has helped give the film breathing room which was much needed. No longer is the ship raced from one surreal incident to the next. At the same time, the new footage also helps strengthen some of the films themes. Before I continue, it's worth noting that "Redux" isn't your typical directors cut, where new footage is simply just shoved into the film. Coppola and editor Walter Murch created an entirely new cut of the film using the original negatives. The film has also been beautifully restored using Technicolor dye-transfer prints, giving the film the Technicolor look of movies from the 40's and 50's. The colors are vibrant, rich, lush and blacks and truly black. "Apocalypse Now" was always one of the most beautifully photographed films and this new transfer helps justify that. The Cinematographer Vittorio Storaro said he cried when he saw the transfer. The remasterd sound is also spectacular. Murch has done an excellent job of putting the audience in the jungle. Now back to the film. The first bit a new footage was an extension of the last scene with Robert Duvall's character, Lt. Kilgore. After giving his famous napalm speech Kilgore is informed that the waves at the beech aren't going to be as big as he expected because the napalm strike has disturbed the wind. This is a nice little touch showing the cause and the effect of the US's actions; no matter what they do, there is a negative effect. After that, Martin Sheen's character Willard, steels Kilgore's surfboard. This was another nice addition. The original version always lacked scenes of Willard before his transformation from going up the river. The scene also helped reinforce the relationship Willard has with the men on the boat; they of course all get a kick out of what Willard does. The next big addition is the Playboy Bunny scene. This scene helps show how the war has even dehumanized sex. Lance (Sam Bottoms) is in a mud filled tent and is painting the face of the bunny he is with. I thought it was great how Coppola showed how dirty sex had become. Meanwhile, Chef (Frederic Forrest) is transforming the bunny he is with into another bunny by having her wear a wing and pose the same way this other bunny did in her spread. This was a masterful way of showing how incredibly impersonal sex has become. The last big addition I'll talk about is the infamous French Plantation scene. The scene started off well, but slowly went down hill. In the first part of it, the French help Willard and the men conduct a funeral for Clean (Fishburne). The men do their best job to conduct a funeral, but it's not exactly up to what a typical army funeral is. There's some great imagery in there, like the small shredded American flag which is used. The funeral scene also makes a great comparison to how Chief (Albert Hall) death is handled. By that time in the film, they are so far up the river that the Army's and American values have vanished; Lance is having a fun time with the body (the body's final resting place is the river, not the earth) while Willard and Chief are totally preoccupied. The plantation scene also helped reinforce the going back in time theme, something which came up a lot in "Heart of Darkness" but never panned out so well in the '79 version of "AP". After the funeral there is a dinner scene with the plantation heads, and this is where things go down hill. There is just way too much dialogue in this scene and Coppola's intentions are quite transparent. The French basically give a recap of the West's involvement in Vietnam and then talk specifically about the US's presence there. It was like Coppola was saying "Incase you don't know what the film is about and why the US are the bad guys in this war..." Worst of all the scene dragged out and hurt the pacing of the film. Coppola spent the last two hours communicating his anti war message visually and suddenly he just had someone blurt it all. There's some new stuff at the Kurtz compound, nothing too important but it helps give us some more time to take in the last 3rd of the film; again helping to reduce that rushed feeling. The end still doesn't quite work, but there is no way to fix this. The Vietnam war had no real ending, there was no climax, there wasn't one last big battle. The US simply accepted it was a war which couldn't be won and pulled out. The ending actually reflects this fairly well. Once the mad Colonel Kurtz is killed, Willard walks down to the boat, leading Lance out, who has become totally wrapped up in the madness. They then peacefully go back down the river. While something like one last battle would have given the film more of a sense of finality, that wouldn't have been staying true to the war. Overall, "Apocalypse Now - Redux" is an extraordinary film. Coppola never wastes a even a single frame (well there was the dinner scene...) Since this film was made, I don't think anyone has ever asked so much of the audience.

"I watched a snail crawl across the edge of a straightrazor. Its my dream, its my nightmare. Crawling, slithering across the edge of straightrazor and surviving." That's the voice of a man called Kurtz, an enigmatic officer that's gone "native" in the depths of Combodia. Your mission objective is simple enough, go up the river, locate Kurtz, and terminate with extreme prejudice. Unfortunately, many things are remiss in the oversimplified statement, "Go up the river and kill Kurtz." Just ask Captain Willard, who's been wanting to submerge himself within the depths of warfare once more and has now been given this onset of a message, intercepted from the prize, Wiliam Kurtz. His mission is simple enough, going up the river and finding his prey of a man, or at least that's how it seems. In the beating heart of the firestorm called Vietnam, nothing is easy, though, and Willard, submerged beneath the veins of madness and brutality as he seeks that elusive objective, begins to understand that more and more in the process. The strange thing about Apocalypse Now, set in the tinderbox of Vietnam, is that it isn't focused upon the sole event of the man forging through the jungle to go and capture the renegade named Kurtz. Instead, borrowing from its predecessor "The Heart of Darkness" - to which the film makes it clear that it pays a great deal of homage, it is about the madness of the events set into motion engulfing this one small figure and the futility of many of the actions/interactions located along the way. As Willard tells you in the beginning of the film, this is his confession on the matter, letting you know that he, too, is a guilty party in the chaotic affair that gnaws hungrily at the souls of all involved. Therefore, in a sense, he is also a party to the insanity taking root all over the feature. I found this to be an interesting affair, not only in the conceptual depiction of the insanity feeding upon the soldiers that we find ourselves focused upon, but in the questions the movie poses as it presses onward, showcasing more and more of the perversities by the same forces that label a man like Kurtz mad and yet birth asylums in their own ranks. The stellar casting accents this further, letting forces like a young Larry Fishburne and an equally young Harrison Ford play side by side with the Sheens and Brandos as they showcase a diversity of talents. All to destroy an enigmatically tormented soul. Even if you've seen the movie before, the DVD is a pristine example of restorative technology can do for movies that deserve preferential treatment. This example is one of the best I've seen, showing its viewers the wonders involved in the art of making a very dramatic example of what warring encompasses. It also has some interesting extras, including the comparisons to Conrad's "Heart of Darkness," letting someone that hasn't been inducted into the work taste some of the symbology buried within those pages. For these reasons and because of other, more addictive loves that encompass the "smells of napalm in the morning," the abnormality of the color spectrum when one chemically bends it in the middle of a battle, and because of the sheer scope of the cinematic equation, I'd have to issue directives for everyone to buy.

Should be in every movie buff's collection.

I lived in that part of the world for a few years pretty damn good story.

Arrived promptly from seller in excellent condition. Works perfectly

I started to write a review of the entire thing, but realized that the main issue here is the new material that has been added, so I will concentrate on that. Let me just say that I was blown away when I first saw this movie many years ago from the opening montage of Martin Sheen's character suffering a breakdown to "The End" by the Doors, punctuated by muted blasts of helicopter rotor blades. The only disapointment in the rest of the film for me was that I could predict which characters would die and which wouldn't; the black guys would die first and Willard and the surfer dude would survive because they were the hero and the harmless insane guy, respectively. As soon as Chef said 'I don't care where I die, as long as it ain't here", well, you knew he was toast. Most of the new scenes aren't really necessary and the first time you see them they do seem excessively over the top. But after a while it starts to blend in and flow. Kind of like adding a couple new movements to a familiar symphony. I believe that Coppola was trying to show war as being absurd to the point of parody...and beyond. A bad acid trip. A nightmare. And even nightmares have oddly funny moments. Part of the disconnect from reality that is the (cliche alert) insanity of war. Like the scene with the priest giving communion wearing a flak vest and Coppola's cameo appearance as a war documentary director, yelling "Don't look at the camera!". Perfect. The plantation scene was nice because it explained where Clean's body went, along with giving the historical context of the colonialist line of march in SE Asia. It didn't have to run so long though, and the scene where Willard gets some from the French MILF wasn't really needed. But its dreamlike quality blended in with the growing nightmare to come. This was the last pleasant interlude of the dream. The Bunny scene and the surfboard-stealing were comic relief, and both scenes were pretty much expendable. By far the best addition was Brando's deadpan-sounding reading of some CIA propaganda outta Newsweek magazine and the New York Times. Some things never change! While the little kids posing and taunting the emaciated Willard added a perfectly macabre touch. This is an important scene, one of the most important in the entire film and I don't know why it got cut from the original. This is the ultimate indictment from Kurtz of his accusers, and it is so subtly delievered that it doesn't fully hit you until much later. Of course, there are many scenes that stay with you long after you see them here and that is the mark of a classic. But this scene will haunt you not only because of what it means in the context of the storyline, but in the relevance that it still has now. All in all, this is a true masterpiece and a landmark achievement. Any other war movie comes in a distant second. And this just may be the final, if not best-loved, version of it.

Je précise dans le titre quelle version j'ai achetée car amazon a tendance à mêler les commentaires sur un même film que ce soit la version dvd ou bluray. La je vais écrire sur la version définitive, qui est plutôt fournie... 4 Dvds, 3 Blurays, 1 livre de mme Coppola, je n'ai pas encore tout regardé, seulement les blurays, d'une qualité optimale, sans fioritures, le film, la vola vf le commentaire de Coppola et les sous titres qui vont avec, redux ou copie 1979. J'ai tout de même déja une critique, les sous titres ne peuvent être supprimées de la vo, ce qui pour un bluray de 2019 est fort pénible, c'est pas du shakespeare et ayant vu le film - j'avais acheté la version redux en dvd lors de sa sortie il y a quelques années - un nombre de fois considérable, je suis assez grand pour comprendre les dialogues en anglais, Martin Sheen a une très bonne diction et il parle assez lentement pour se passer des sous titres. Et bin pas moyen de les virer... Bon. Surprise que je ne m'explique pas, la version redux que j'ai en dvd fait 3:13:59, le bluray fait 3:22:32 et je n'ai pas vu de scènes en plus... En a-t-il rallongé certaines, ou intercalé quelques prises de vue au milieu des autres ? Je n'ai pas la solution... Une énigme. (edit : la version DVD c'est du 25 images seconde, le bluray c'est du 24 images secondes, comme l'original sur pellicule, c'est ça la différence de temps) Autres surprises agréables, le format 2.35 est restitué au lieu du format bâtard 2.00 et le rendu des couleurs est magnifique, très moderne. J'ai lu ça et là que le format et les couleurs des précédentes éditions étaient le fait d'un "magicien de la lumière" italien, mouais, la magie c'est surtout de retrouver le format d'image originel et des couleurs qui ne sont plus délavées comme beaucoup de tirages de films des années 70, qui lorsqu'ils sont refilmés et sortent en bluray sont comme rajeunis. Le format, autant le 16/9 va bien au film "le parrain", film d'intérieur, oppressant, autant le 2.35 magnifie les images extérieures d'apocalypse now . Je conseille à ceux qui ne l'ont jamais vu de se ruer sur "heart of darkness" le docu de mme Coppola sur le tournage, avec des images inédites (brando qui avale un insecte !...) sur les affres de Francis Ford sur le tournage apocalyptique de son film, tourné aux Philippines en pleine guérilla, la tempête, Sheen malade et j'en passe... On est passé tout près du désastre vous allez voir... 24.99 euros pour tout ce bon, sans mégotter, je suis ravi !!!

>>> ZUM FILM <<< Was wurde über Francis Ford Coppolas Vietnam-Meisterwerk nicht schon alles geschrieben? Alleine über die endlosen Dreharbeiten unter widrigsten Bedingungen inkl. einem hoffnungslos überzogenen Budget wurden unzählige Artikel geschrieben, die ganze Bücher füllen würden. Doch trotz aller Verzögerungen, Brandos Starallüren, erlittener Schwächeanfälle und Herzattacken konnte der Film nach 16-monatiger Drehzeit (16 Wochen waren ursprünglich geplant) fertiggestellt und 1979 in die Kinos gebracht werden. Die Reaktionen damals waren zwispältig und reichten von "meisterhaft" bis "sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig". APOCALYPSE NOW konnte seinerzeit keinen berauschenden Kassenerfolg erzielen. Zu surreal und vielschichtig die Geschichte, die im Gewand eines Kriegfilms daher kommt und gleichzeitig doch viel mehr ist und tiefer geht. Der Film ist vordergründig ein Trip durch das kaputte Innere eines vom Krieg zerstörten Landes. Beim Blick dahinter ist er jedoch ein Trip in das Innere der menschlichen Seele. Getragen wird die Handlung von durchweg hervorragenden Schauspielern, die Charaktere darstellen, bei denen man selten weiß, ob die noch richtig ticken oder sie aufgrund der Kriegserfahrungen schon komplett neben der Spur laufen. Martin Sheen als Captain Williard ist inkl. der ihn begleitenden Bootsbesatzung noch der Normalste von allen. Doch selbst er überschreitet gegen Ende des Films eine Grenze, die an ihm zweifeln lassen. Marlon Brandos legendärer Kurzaufuftritt bedarf eigentlich keiner Worte. Bei Dennis Hopper frage ich mich immer, ob er den durchgeknallten Journalisten auf Drogen nur spielt... sein Auftritt ist jedenfalls beeindruckend verrückt. Mein persönlicher Favorit ist jedoch Robert Duvall als Lieutenant Colonel Bill Kilgore: Durchgeknallt, krank, witzig inkl. einem Riesen-Ego auf Testosteron, das ihm quasi schon aus den Poren quillt -> sein recht kurzer Auftritt lohnt bereits den gesamten Film! Und dass sich selbst in Nebenrollen (zum Zeitpunkt des Drehs unbekannte) Namen wie Harrison Ford, Lawrence Fishbourne oder Scott Glenn tummeln, erhöht nur die Freude am Film. Aber wie immer man auch zu APOCALYPSE NOW stehen mag: Er ist auf seine Art einzigartig! Man muss sich jedoch auf ihn einlassen können und er funktioniert nur dann, wenn man bereit ist, dem Trip uneingeschränkt zu folgen. Er ist definitiv kein Film, den man nebenher anschauen kann. >>> ZUR BLU-RAY <<< Ich bin definitiv sprachlos! Was hier auf die Beine gestellt wurde, ist ein rundherum gelungenes Gesamtpaket: Der Film selbst liegt in der Original Kinoversion und in der Redux-Fassung vor. In beiden Fassungen können Bild und Ton ABSOLUT überzeugen. Angesichts des Alters des Films würde ich sogar so weit gehen und beides als sehr gut bezeichnen. Das Bild sieht oftmals so aus, als wäre der Film erst gestern gedreht worden. Besonders beeindruckend sind die kräftigen Farben, sowie der Kontrast und der Schwarzwert, die das Bild oftmals sehr plastisch erscheinen lassen. Die Nachtszenen sind umwerfend! Lediglich sehr häufig auftretende Unschärfen verhindern eine höhere Wertung. Der Sound liegt in der Redux-Fassung in Deutsch und Englisch in der 5.1 DTS-HD-Master-Audio-Fassung vor. Das Ergebnis beeindruckt noch mehr als die Bildqualität und macht sprachlos. Es ist kaum zu glauben, wie viel Räumlichkeit und Bassgewalt aus der alten Stereospur gekitzelt werden konnte. Die Kinofassung muss sich mit der Stereo DTS-HD-Master-Audio-Spur begnügen. Von den Extras muss in erster Linie die ausführliche Doku "Hearts Of Darkness" erwähnt werden, die die eingangs beschriebene Entstehungsgeschichte von APOCALYPSE NOW näher beleuchtet. So erfährt man auch, dass einzelne Schauspieler in bestimmten Szenen tatsächlich unter Drogeneinfluss gestanden haben. Nicht nur als Fan sollte man diese Doku in Spielfilmlänge mindestens einmal gesehen haben. Beinahe ebenso interessant ist der Audiokommentar von Francis Ford Coppola selbst. Darüber hinaus sind weitere zahlreiche Interviews, Dokus, Featurettes, Storybordzeichnungen enthalten. Einige Stunden kann gestöbert und entdeckt werden. Abgerundet wird die 3-Disc Deluxe Edition durch ein schönes Booklet, das Original-Kinoprogramm von 1979 und mehrere Postkarten mit Motiven aus dem Film. Die Box selbst wirkt sehr hochwertig und schön und ist sicher für jeden Sammler eine lohnende Investition. >>> FAZIT <<< Was soll ich noch groß sagen? Nie sah der Film besser aus, nie klang er besser, nie wurde er angemessener präsentiert! Schon der Film selbst ist in der gebotenen Qualität das Geld mehr als wert. Die 3-Disc-Deluxe-Edition erscheint daher geradezu wie ein Schnäppchen! Sie kann von mir nur die klarste Kaufempfehlung bekommen, die ich jemals ausgesprochen habe.

Maravillosa película la súper recomiendo y más que es Redux

I have been looking for the original version on DVD or Blue-ray for ever and finally here it comes with a very nice and original packaging. The extra dossier with comments from Coppola is the cherry on the cake.

Coffret dans un état , comme neuf ! Remasteriser par F.F.Coppola les deux versions sont remarquable, quel boulot ! Et puis Palme d or au festival de Cannes c'est vraiment le film à ne pas rater ! Avec un produit de cette qualité, le client est respecté ! Merci Amazon belgique.
