The Deer Hunter
Directed by Michael Cimino
1978
★ 8.0 editorial score
Cimino spends a whole first act on a steel town and a wedding, so that when the war arrives it lands on people you already know by name.
“Michael Cimino's "The Deer Hunter" is a big, awkward, crazily ambitious, sometimes breathtaking motion picture that comes as close to being a popular epic as any movie about this country since "The Godfather"...he's tried to create a film that is nothing less than an appraisal of American life in the second half of the 20th century.”
