{"product_id":"cimino","title":"Cimino","description":"The director Michael Cimino (1939–2016) is famous for two films: the intense, powerful, and enduring Vietnam movie \u003ci\u003eThe Deer Hunter\u003c\/i\u003e, which won Best Picture at the Academy Awards in 1979 and also won Cimino Best Director, and \u003ci\u003eHeaven’s Gate\u003c\/i\u003e, the most notorious bomb of all time. Originally budgeted at $11 million, Cimino’s sprawling western went off the rails in Montana. The picture grew longer and longer, and the budget ballooned to over $40 million. When it was finally released, \u003ci\u003eHeaven’s Gate\u003c\/i\u003e failed so completely with reviewers and at the box office that it put legendary studio United Artists out of business and marked the end of Hollywood’s auteur era.","brand":"ABRAMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42663986429988,"sku":"9781419747120","price":29.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9781419747120.jpg?v=1779307533","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/cimino","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
