I have been fascinated with this film for a few years now, and I think it's widely underrated and under praised. Check out the review here.....

Heaven's Gate is a great, great movie. Critics completely missed it at the time. I'm looking forward to the Criterion edition. Thanks for the link.

Freedom is the space between Church and State.
the bluray is excellent!!
shareA long time ago this movie was considered trash but I think the guys at Criterion are on to something. I just finished watching it and I absolutely loved it. My mom wondered why I enjoyed it. I have patience for the movies. I also loved The Tree of Life, 2001, Magnolia, and Cloud Atlas.
I enjoyed the opening because of its design and I kinda laughed at John Hurt's and Kris Kristofferson's hair but still I can't believe no Oscar love for the technical merit at least.
