Cimino: The Deer Hunter, Heaven's Gate, and the Price of a Vision - Charles Elton - Bog

Bag om Cimino: The Deer Hunter, Heaven's Gate, and the Price of a Vision

The first biography of critically acclaimed then critically derided filmmaker Michael CiminoΓÇöand a reevaluation of the infamous film that destroyed his careerThe director Michael Cimino (1939ΓÇô2016) is famous for two films: the intense, powerful, and enduring Vietnam movie The Deer Hunter, which won Best Picture at the Academy Awards in 1979 and also won Cimino Best Director, and HeavenΓÇÖs Gate, the most notorious bomb of all time. Originally budgeted at $11 million, CiminoΓÇÖs sprawling western went off the rails in Montana. The picture grew longer and longer, and the budget ballooned to over $40 million. When it was finally released, HeavenΓÇÖs Gate failed so completely with reviewers and at the box office that it put legendary studio United Artists out of business and marked the end of Hollywood''s auteur era.Or so the conventional wisdom goes. Charles Elton delves deeply into the making and aftermath of the movie and presents a surprisingly different view to that of Steven Bach, one of the executives responsible for HeavenΓÇÖs Gate, who wrote a scathing book about the film and solidified the widely held view that Cimino wounded the movie industry beyond repair. EltonΓÇÖs Cimino is a richly detailed biography that offers a revisionist history of a lightning rod filmmaker. Based on extensive interviews with CiminoΓÇÖs peers and collaborators and enemies and friends, most of whom have never spoken before, it unravels the enigmas and falsehoods, many perpetrated by the director himself, which surround his life, and sheds new light on his extraordinary career. This is a story of the making of art, the business of Hollywood, and the costs of ambition, both financial and personal.
