Apocalypse Now Redux

I am very late to the party on the extended version of this one, but my god - that scene at the French plantation upriver is astonishing.

More than ever for me, it’s the finest war movie ever made. Some of the pyrotechnics may not have aged well, but that’s merely a quibble in the context of a three-hour+ film that will haunt me even more now, over forty years since I first saw it.
