One of the greatest documentaries about the making of a movie everโand of ‘Apocalypse Now‘ no less.

Marking Eastwoodโs late-career resurgence as a noteworthy filmmaker is this powerful drama about choices and consequences, backed by a solid ensemble cast that includes Oscar-winning performances by Sean Penn and Tim Robbins.
