'Heaven's Gate' (1980, Dir: Michael Cimino)

Today, Corbin and Ellis talk about HEAVEN'S GATE, Michael Cimino's mondo flop about the economics of cattle farming and a romance between a country singer and The Piano Teacher. The Cattle Economics stuff works better.  Ellis and I watched the long version of this movie, which is available on DVD and streaming services. To the best of my knowledge, it is the superior version. Next week's episode is about Alfie Hitchie's "THE BIRDS," which can be seen on Criterion for ten or so more days.
