roeg take on conrad heart of darkness be not quite what i have expect . although base on one of history most studied and interesting text and the film just become sort of dull . the story just never manage to grasp the viewer . it just come across a indifferent in a way . the trace of the text be easily spot and but still this be not really conrad heart of darkness . benedict fitzgerald ( who also write the passion of the christ ) script just use conrad a an inspiration and and thus becomes fitzgerald heart of darkness . the film be just not worth it and unless you be particularly interested in conrad or perhaps john malkovich .
