Review of Heaven's Gate (1980) by Mark H — 05 Jul 2016

I can only comment on the new Criterion version of this movie but its an astounding achievement with glorious cinematography and stunning set pieces. That said, it is over long and does take its time telling the story, but there is so much stunning work here that it is well worth experiencing.

Too bad the media decided to hate it before it ever came out and used the story behind the making of it to ruin both the movie and the director's career.
