The first biography of the acclaimed and derided filmmaker Michael
Cimino—and a reevaluation of the infamous film that destroyed his
career—now in paperback!The director Michael Cimino (1939–2016)
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
Heaven’s Gate, the most notorious bomb of all time. Originally
budgeted at $11 million, Cimino’s 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,
Heaven’s 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 Heaven’s Gate, who wrote a scathing book about
the film and solidified the widely held view that Cimino wounded
the movie industry beyond repair. Elton’s Cimino is a richly
detailed biography that offers a revisionist history of a lightning
rod filmmaker. Based on extensive interviews with Cimino’s 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.
