This was a sorely needed 2nd viewing for me. Probably the most stunningly beautiful cinematic depiction of insanity and mental deterioration ever made. I only noticed this time around Coppola's genius use of color filters throughout large portions of the film, as well as a reappreciation of his lighting effects. The absolutely hellish and apocalyptic feeling pervading the whole piece is haunting and amazing. You can almost kind of understand why Coppola never again really achieved the level of brilliance he displays here, as the reportedly 3 years of post-production alone must've been an incredibly exhausting expierience. One of the best films ever made.
