AUGUST 2025 at the SALON

 

This summer, the Salon reaches back in time for a classic.

In the late 1970s, as renegade filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola struggled to complete his epic allegory of the Vietnam War,  Apocalypse Now, his wife Eleanor films his daily travails with a camera of her own. The result, released in 1991, as described by critics at the time:

There have been few sharper portraits of the filmmaker as alchemist than Hearts of Darkness -Janet Maslin, NY Times

As the portrait of an artist in crisis, Hearts of Darkness is unparalleled.  -Hal Hinson, Washington Post

The making of a film has never been documented with more penetration and truth than in Hearts of Darkness.  -Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Best film of the year  -Gene Siskel, Chicago Tribune

The Harris Theater presents Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse as lead-up to their special August 15 screening of the original version of Apocalypse Now.


Sunday, August 10  5:30p

The Harris Theater, Downtown Pittsburgh
