“Heaven’s Gate. Okay. Wyoming, federal marshal and Isabelle Huppert and Christopher Walken’s in this. Okay. I think I’m gonna like this. I love, love Westerns.”

Joachim Trier director

“Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate. Goodness, film history is so cruel. I remember having the Guinness Book of World Records as a kid and reading this title Heaven's Gate is like the biggest flop of all time or something. And it's a great film. It's a really great film.”

Joachim Trier

“Heaven's Gate, I'm fascinated by it. It has a lot of baggage with it, but I've never really sat down and seen it. The parts that I have seen, though, are a lot of texture of clothing. It looks so period. I think Isabelle Huppert is in it. I'm dying to see it. I'm really dying to sit down, get the popcorn, and watch the whole thing. I can't wait.”
