'Heaven's Gate'

Heaven's Gate (1980, United Artists, dir. Michael Cimino, 195 min, R) was the gigantic western that gained notoriety as a box office bomb. It cost $44M and grossed #1.5 M according to imdb. I saw it in Dallas at a UA theater and rather liked it. The scenery was breathtaking, and the story has political overtones: a struggle between established cattle interests and immigrants. Kris Kristofferson, Christopher Walken, John Hurt.
