Dare I say that Hearts Of Darkness is better than the movie that the documentary is about? Yep. Apocalypse Now is held in such high regard buy a lot of film buffs, myself included. But I really do think that Eleanor Coppola's film on the making of this epic classic is just so much better, for many different reasons. The true mark of a great Documentary is in making the viewer want to watch the original film all over again, which this does in spades. The entire trip from pre-production to filming on location to Martin Sheen's heart attack to Dennis Hopper's on set hissy fit to Marlon Brando arriving to film his scenes, fat and overweight and not having read a single word of the book the film is based on is just spellbinding. This is all golden, baby!

Definitely a Buy, not just for me, but for all of you guys and gals as well.
