Welcome to Vietnam – a Hieronymus Bosch-like world where ideal surfing conditions can be found at the centre of a war zone, TV crews capture death as entertainment, Playboy bunnies leap in and out of helicopters, and where Marlon Brando’s deranged Colonel Kurtz quotes T.S. Eliot. Francis Ford Coppola’s hallucinatory vision of Hell on Earth lures us into its insanity through groundbreaking sound design and an audacious level of ambition. War has never been presented quite so grotesquely, or spectacularly, in cinema.

Contains scenes of violence, racist language and violence against animals.
