Apocalypse Now
SUBC04
1979
Original US theatrical poster
Artwork by Bob Peak
A film that nearly destroyed the people making it.
Francis Ford Coppola took Joseph Conrad into Vietnam and emerged with something feverish, beautiful and terrifying.
Brando floats above the darkness. Sheen burns beneath him. Helicopters cross a blood-red sun while the river leads towards Kurtz.
The poster has lived.
Folds, marks and surface wear remain visible. We like it that way.
It was never born to live behind glass.
It was born to make people walk into a cinema.
