Summary

Examines and re-evaluates the life and career of the director of the critically acclaimed film "The Deer Hunter," as well as 1980's "Heaven's Gate," the most notorious cinematic bomb of all timeMichael Cimino is most famous for two films he directed: The deer hunter, which won him both Best Director and Best Picture in 1979; and Heaven's gate, the most notorious bomb of all time. Elton examines and re-evaluates Cimino's life and career, delving deeply into the making and aftermath of the movie and offering a revisionist history of the filmmaker. The result is a look at the making of art, the business of Hollywood, and the costs of ambition, both financial and personal. -- adapted from jacket
