Apocalypse Now Redux is an extended, definitive version of Apocalypse Now. Unlike other new cuts of the film, Redux is usually considered by fans and critics, as well as director Coppola, as a completely new movie altogether. The movie adds 49 minutes of all-new material, and represents a significant re-edit of the original Apocalypse Now. The movie came into production when Coppola concluded that his original cut was tame by today's standards. Coppola, along with editor/long-time collaborator Walter Murch, then added several scenes that enhanced the surrealism in the original story. The film was distributed by Miramax Films, whilst the original cut was distributed by United Artists. The new cut has received mixed reviews from both fans and critics.

New scenes/alterations

The movie contains several newly added sequences and alterations to the original film:

• In the original film, the PBR Streetgang crewmembers relax and play around, listening to the Rolling Stones' "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" while Willard first looks at the dossier. The scene plays right before the crewmembers meet Kilgore. In the Redux version, the "Satisfaction" scene is moved to later in the film, and Willard is shown reading the dossier without the surrounding activity and music.
• In the original version, Willard first meets Kilgore when asking a fellow officer who simply replies "He's over there, you can't miss him". In the Redux, the officer now says "There's the Colonel coming down". We later learn that Kilgore is arriving (via Helicopter) to the scene. When he arrives, he asks an officer riding with him to "Back by the tree lines 'bout a hundred yards, give him some room to breathe". He later asks a another for his "Death Cards" (which he uses in the original version).
• During the raid, Kilgore looks over some of the wounded and dead. He then walks away, simply replying "Damn".
• After ordering an air strike, a Vietnamese mother, with her wounded child in hand, runs to Kilgore. Kilgore immediately takes the child and tells his men to rush the child to a hospital (mother as well).
• After the helicopter carrying the wounded child leaves, Kilgore hands Lance a new pair of shorts to go surfing in (Note: Throughout the original cut, Lance is wearing them, but it is never explained how he got them).
• After giving the famous "Napalm" speech, Kilgore soon learns that the napalm has changed the wind current, ruining the perfect waves. Willard immediately uses this as an excuse to leave. He and Lance run back to the boat. Before they leave, Willard steals Kilgore's surf board.
• Before Willard and Chef go to search for mangos, there's a scene where the crew is lying around in a river. Chef asks Willard if he can go get some mangos and Willard goes with him. In the Redux, there is a new scene before this. In the scene, it is clear that the crew are hiding from Kilgore, who is trying to get back his surf board. A helicopter soon flies by, carrying a recording by Kilgore, asking Lance for the board back. Chief then changes the subject by asking how far they are going up the river. Willards says it's classified. Chief later asks Willard if he likes it like that, "hot and hairy" (to which Willard replies: "Fuck"). Chef later asks Chief is he can get some mangos.
• The day after the Playboy bunnies' USO show, we see the crewmembers talking about it. Chef is obsessed he was able to meet "Miss December". Clean then warns Chef not to go crazy with these Playboys, and proceeds to tell the story of a man so obsessed with his Playboys, he kills an officer who ruins his foldouts.
• The 'Satisfaction' scene is now moved after the above scene. Afterwards, Willard reads a letter by Kurtz, criticizing the imcompetent young soldiers sent to Vietnam, blaming them for their losing.
• One point during their travels, the crew stop at a destroyed Medevac. The area is completely wrecked, with no real Commanding Officer (much like the Do Lung Bridge sequence). Willard tries to find someone in charge, but later learns that the Playboy bunnies' helicopter has landed here. Willard then negotiates two barrels of fuel with an hour with the bunnies (along with the rest of the crew). Chef spends his time with his idol, Miss December (now Miss May). Lance also spends his time with Playmate of the year. Clean constantly interrupts, trying to get his turn.
• After the above scene, Chef learns that Clean is a virgin. Chef then makes fun of him for it, only to be stopped by Chief. The argument is only partially heard in the original cut.
• After Clean's death, the crew find themselves in a French plantation. Willards tells the head of the plantation (Christian Marquand) that they lost one of their men. He tell Willard that they will bury him (to pay respects to the fallen of their allies). What later follows is a funeral for Clean. The crew then has dinner with them. Willard, sitting with the family, asks when they are going home. The family soon go into a long and lengthy argument over the Vietnam War. Most of the family leaves in anger. After they all leave, one, Roxanne (the only one not in the consevation), apologizes for her family's behavior. She and Willard later talk, smoke some opium, and have sex. Roxanne explains her deceased husband's conflicts he had faced with himself, saying "There are two of you. One that kills, and one that loves". We later see the crew back on the river, and continue towards the mission. The scene is very dreamlike.
• After Chef's death, Willard is kept in a metal hut. Kurtz later enters inside and reads Willard several Time Magazine articles detailing America's success in the war.

Production

Coppola started production for the new cut with working-partner Kim Aubry. Coppola then tried to get Murch, who was reluctant at first. He thought it would be extremely difficult recutting a film which had taken two years to edit originally. He later changed his mind (after working on the reconstruction of Orson Welles' Touch of Evil). Coppola and Murch then examined several of the rough prints and dailies for the film. It was decided early on the editing of the film would be like editing a new film altogether. One such example was the new French Plantation sequence. The scenes were greatly edited to fit into the movie originally, only to be cut in the end. When working again on the film, instead of using the (heavily edited) version, Murch decided to work the scene all over again, editing it as if it was the first time. Touch of Evil (1958) is considered one of the last examples of film noir in the genres classic era (from the early 1940s until the late 1950s). ...

Much work was needed to be done to the new scenes. Thanks to the off-screen noises during the shoot, most of the dialogue was impossible to hear. During post-production of the film the actors were brought back to re-record their lines (known as ADR). This was done for the scenes that made it into the original cut, but not for the deleted scenes. For the Redux version, Martin Sheen, Robert Duvall, Sam Bottoms, Albert Hall, Frederic Forrest, and Aurore Clement were brought back to record ADR for the new scenes. ADR is a three-letter acronym that may refer to: Accord Dangereuse Routiers, regulations for the international movement of hazardous goods by road. ...

There was new music also composed for the movie. For the French Plantation scene, there was a romantic interlude between Willard and Roxanne. There was no music composed for this scene (plus no music composed fit the scene). To make matters worse, composer Carmine Coppola had died in 1991. The old recording and writings were checked. A track entitled "Love Theme" was found - it turns out that during scoring, Francis Coppola had told his father to write a theme for the scene before it was ultimately deleted. The track was recorded by a group of synthesists.

Vittorio Storaro also came back from Italy to head a new color balance of the film and new scenes. When Redux was being released, Storaro learned that a Technicolor Dye-Transfer Process was being brought back. The Dye-Transfer is a three-strip process, that makes the color highly saturated and has consistent black tone. Storaro wished to use this on Redux, but a problem was that in order to do it, they needed to cut the original prints of Apocalypse Now, leaving Apocaylpse Now Redux the only print available. Storaro decided to do it, when convinced by Coppola that this version would be the one that would be remembered.

Reaction

Apocalypse Now Redux originally premiered at Cannes in May 2001. The movie was easily the most anticipated in the festival. The screening marked the anniversary of the famous Apocalypse Now screening as a work in progress, where it ended up winning the Palme d'Or. Coppola went to the festival, also with Murch, Stararo, and actors Sam Bottoms and Aurore Clement. The film met with overall positive response.

When it was released, the response from the critics was largely positive, holding a 92% rating at rottentomatoes. Some critics thought highly of the additions, such as A.O. Scott of the New York Times, who wrote that it "grows richer and stranger with each viewing, and the restoration of scenes left in the cutting room two decades ago has only added to its sublimity."

Some critics, however, thought the new scenes slowed the pacing, were too lengthy (notably The French Plantation sequence), and added nothing overall to the film's impact. Owen Gleiberman wrote "Apocalypse Now Redux is the meandering, indulgent art project that he was still enough of a craftsman, in 1979, to avoid." Despite this, other critics still gave it high ratings. Roger Ebert wrote: "Longer or shorter, redux or not, Apocalypse Now is one of the central events of my life as a filmgoer."
