Heaven's Gate

Pulled from theaters one week after opening and rereleased with over an hour of footage cut, this so-called endpoint of the 1970s golden age of new American cinema (and notorious box-office disaster) recounts the 1892 land war between wealthy cattle barons and immigrant homesteaders. The triumphant new restoration brings a long-overdue reappraisal to the classic. Features Kris Kristofferson, Christopher Walken, Isabelle Huppert, Joseph Cotton, Jeff Bridges, Sam Waterston, and a young Mickey Rourke. (216 mins., 2K DCP)
