Re: Michael Cimino - RIP
A bit of a maverick by all accounts. He was (unfairly IMO) maligned for inadvertently creating the bland cookie cutter movie industry we have today: the box office disaster that was Heaven's Gate allegedly resulted in the studios implementing draconian restrictions on director power.
