Not many movies can take credit for bringing about the demise of a movie studio--but Michael Cimino's ego-driven, overblown Western is one of them. These days, its $40 million budget would barely cover the cost of an Adam Sandler film--but in 1981, it virtually put United Artists out of business. Cimino, fresh from an Oscar for The Deer Hunter, spent months assembling this ultimately gorgeous and confusing story of the Johnson County cattle wars of 1881, with a cast that included Kris Kristofferson, Jeff Bridges, John Hurt, Christopher Walken, Isabelle Huppert, and many more. Almost four hours in its original form, the film was cut to less than three for an abortive commercial release, then restored for video. Anyway you look at it, this is a mess better viewed as a curiosity than anything else. --Marshall Fine

I just saw this for the first time, after all these years of hearing what a colossal failure it was. If you love Cinema, appreciate Bergman, Truffaut, Sergio Leone, etc., you will at least appreciate Heavens Gate, & maybe even fall a little bit in love with the characters & the movie itself.
Is it as good as Cimino's "The Deer Hunter"? Or Leone's "One Upon a Time in the West"? In conventional terms, no, but how many films are? All I know is, Heavens Gate is "a work of art". It's ... Read More

After having absorbed the originally released extended director's cut for years (the 2-vhs set), I was disappointed to see two crucial omissions from this version. One, the incredible roller-skating sequence is presented here in color, matching the basic tone of the rest of the film (mind you, nothing wrong with that). My original print shows that same sequence in a deep, rich sepia-tone tint. It never failed to give me chills every time I experienced it, and I couldn't believe this print did not have ... Read More

Michael Cimino's politically radical view of a slice of American history should, in time, be regarded as one of the greatest of American films. Its many powerful and evocative scenes remind us what movies can do.

this is one of the slowest moving films i have ever seen . endless scenes moving at a glacial pace with people saying nothing , staring into space , emoting ... very difficult to determine what is happening . best watched on a dvr where you can fast forward in 30 second intervals to get through the meaningful silent staring .. the concluding scene is impossible to fathom . who is the woman ? where did she come from ..
