Redux is a ponderous affair sprinkled with liberal dashes of genius. The literal descent into madness is a wonderful metaphor for the Vietnam war, and some of the surreal experiences that Coppola creates are enthralling, but the characters make one too many stops on their way up river. Some very interesting scenes are buried in scores of moderately good ones, and the sheer length of the film deflates the conclusion. The message is stunning, but it doesn't come through clearly enough.
