Quite good, but Kurtz always remains frustratingly enigmatic, even after we meet him. Maybe that is the point though. Apocalypse Now was more exciting. This was a present from Larissa, and required fetching from the mysterious Kazakh post-office across town... This edition comes with beans and tea.
