Heaven’s Gate tells the story of a Harvard graduate lawyer, Averill, and his attempts to help a community of European immigrants out West in their struggle with a brutal cattle owners' association, depicting the real-life bloody conflict of the Johnson County War in 1892. At its heart lies a fraught love story between rogue Federal Marshal Averill, local madam Ella and association mercenary Nate, all led by fantastic performances.
The recent critical reassessment of Michael Cimino’s staggeringly ambitious western has elevated it from critical disgrace - the film that sank United Artists, its director’s career, and New Hollywood - to candidate for misunderstood masterpiece.
Filmography: The Sicilian (1987), Year of the Dragon (1985), The Deer Hunter (1978), Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974).
"A grippingly violent parable, a touching, tragic romance and – thanks to legendary cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond and an unprecedented attention to historical detail – quite simply one of the most beautiful, immersive films ever made."
- TOM HUDDLESTON, TIME OUT
