This July is "Movies About Making Movies" month at Catching Up On Cinema! Kyle's first pick for this month is the critically acclaimed documentary, Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse (1991)! Telling the tale of Francis Ford Coppola's infamously troubled production of Apocalypse Now (1979), the documentary is often cited as an example of a behind-the-scenes tale that may potentially eclipse the film it's based around in terms of entertainment value. Featuring interviews with most of the major players involved in the production of the film, including Coppola and his wife, Martin Sheen, and Dennis Hopper, the documentary is easily one of the best movies about the making of a movie that you'll ever see.

In this episode we are directed by Nicolas Winding Refn to have a theme inspired by MY LIFE DIRECTED BY NICOLAS WINDING REFN. That direction leads us to the films HEARTS OF DARKNESS: A FILMMAKER'S APOCALYPSE and AMERICAN MOVIE, as we see that both someone at the top and bottom of their field can be driven mad by the passion and pitfalls of seeing their dream film through to completion.
