This evening's viewing distraction: a revisit to Coppola's remarkable Apocalypse Now.

Zum Tod von Gene Hackman wollen wir an seinen unvergesslichen Beitrag zur Filmgeschichte erinnern. Er hat insbesondere dem New-Hollywood-Kino seinen Stempel aufgedrückt!

This evening's viewing distraction: a revisit to Coppola's gorgeous take on Dracula. Yes, those dodgy accents, but Oldman is just superb, and Winona in that red dress, swoon. And the deliberately old-school movie making tricks and effects.
