One-Shot: Heaven’s Gate
from Fifteen Minute Film Fanatics · host Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics
Everything you've heard about Heaven's Gate (1980) is wrong. Join Mike and Dan in this short episode in which they talk about the difference between the theatrical release of the film and the restored Criterion edition: Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate. As Dan says, "We watch things all the time and ask, 'When is this going to get good?' I kept watching and asking, 'When is this going to get bad?'" It never does. So graduate from Harvard, put on those roller skates, give Christopher Walken a hearty punch in the nose, and give it a listen!
