Beta Tape Heaven s Gate part 2 The Original, Uncut Version! Drama/Epic…MB700295…Color..220 mins..MGM/UA Home Video..Starring..Kris Kristofferson, Christopher Walken, John Hart, Sam Waterston, Brad Dourif, Isabelle Huppert, Joseph Cotten, Jeff Bridges… Few movies in Hollywood history have been talked about by so many – and seen by so few. Michael Cimino s dazzling, romantic and long-awaited $40 million frontier epic was cut by 70 minutes when shown in most theatres. Only now can the controversial original be seen in its entirety. Kris Kristofferson and Christopher Walken star as a lawman and a hitman, in love with the same woman ( Isabelle Huppert). All three are caught up in a devastating class war, when ruthless ranchers decide to kill off the starving immigrants who have been stealing their cattle. Based on actual incidents, Heaven s Gate is a film of hugh aspirations and compelling performers ( including Jeff Bridges and John Hurt). It s also a film of extraordinary beauty (shot in Montana by Vilmos Zsigmond, cinematographer of Close Encounters); anger (over the plight of the poor); and lyricism (an outdoor graduation day waltz). Finally restored to its oringinal length, one of the most controversial films of the 80 s proves an innovative cinematic adventure, and a work of "genuine passion." (David Denby, New York Magazine)
