Cimino presented a five-and-a-half-hour edit of a total 220 hours—nearly one million feet—of film. After a recut to make it shorter at 205 minutes, Heaven’s Gate still drew reactions so negative that it was withdrawn after its premiere.
Jan 28, 2013 · I’ve read somewhere recently, that Cimino’s final version of the movie lasted over 5 hours but it was shortened due to financial problems (besides too long for a commercial viewing). I haven’t seen the cut version, but it must have been a failure indeed, as the long version still feels a bit like a mess to me.
