Apocalypse Now Scene-by-Scene

In this new scene-by-scene break-down of the 1979
film Apocalypse Now, contemporary culture critic
John David Ebert frames the work in reference to an archaeology of the film's images. At the same time, Ebert connects this ancient history with"postmodern" contemporary critical theory, drawing upon Lacan, Derrida, Gadamer, and Cornelius Castoriadis, unpacking and analyzing Francis Ford
Coppola's classic, one of the most famous and wildly inventive works in cinema history. In 23 chapters,
Ebert interprets the longer Apocalypse Now Redux version, delving deep into the film's complex layers of literary meaning and aesthetic significance.

John David Ebert has authored ten previous books,
including Art After Metaphysics, Dead Celebrities
Living Icons, The New Media Invasion, Post-Classic
Cinema, and Gods & Heroes of the Media Age.
